Happy Birthday Jared!

Last week was Jared's birthday. Neither of us wanted a big deal made of our birthdays this year, and it was really hard for me to keep that promise, but I did manage to keep it fairly low key. He didn't want anything, but I did get him some new pants for work... and I planted a couple of hints to my mom of things I knew he'd like :) All he wanted was fried chicken and rice for dinner (I'm not sure how good it actually was, but I made it anyway). And he said NO CAKE... BUT he didn't say no ice cream!! So I called my family and said "Come over for ice cream." It was fun, and I think Jared enjoyed having a little bit of attention on his birthday.

One of the ideas that I gave Mom was the movie "Wolverine." Jared LOVED this movie. He rarely says he wants to buy a DVD, but this one he said he'd love to own, so Mom and Dad gave it to him. I think he was pretty happy about that!


All ready for Ice Cream! Happy Birthday DADDY!


And even with no cake, ya still gotta blow out some candles. Jared turned 37 this year, so I put 3 candles on one side, and 7 on the other... it looked a little more organized from above. Vanilla is his FAVE... but we added chocolate syrup and sprinkles to make it more fun :) Happy Birthday Jared. I love you!

HA HA HA! That was really me that wrote the last comment. Math hates when I don't check to make sure it is me that is logged in, because I write some goofy and mushy comments and he doesn't want to claim them. hee-hee

Oh I love it when they say..."I don't want anything....Don't make a big deal about it." and then you don't...and they actually feel bad! Good job on making it low key....we've decided that you don't have to have cake if you don't want...just your favorite dessert! (You can put candles in ANYTHING!)
