Happy Birthday Honey

We went to the homeschool conference and the kids stayed with Nana.  Arianna and Ryan planned a surprise party for Chris while we were gone. 

They picked out the presents, wrapped them and decorated for the party.  They were excited about encouraging Daddy!

Ari settled the presents down nice and cozy. 

It is hard to light 35 candles without burning yourself:)

Ryan is so happy to have Daddy back!

 

They are excited to share their presents with Chris

Ryan picked out a Mario shirt for Chris:) Ari got him tools.

When we got home, we had our own family party on his actual birthday.  Our family tradition is to go and do whatever the birthday person wants to do on their birthday.  Chris chose to go to McAlister's to eat. 

 

Each holiday, the kids pick out a dachshund to give to Chris for the special occasion.  This year Ari picked out the Birthday Dachshund and Ryan picked out the taxi dachshund.
