we're lighting craig's birthday candles.
talby took this…i loved it.
(she took about a dozen like this…all cake, no heads)
craigs' birthday this year was the most laid back we've ever been.
his mom came over (with zwiebach and lots of strawberry jam).
my parents were in town so they stayed for dinner and brought an ice cream cake.
i didn't even have to bake…woo-hoo!
our dinner was the lasagna i put in the freezer two weeks before…craig's choice.
lauren was at a track meet so there were only the four kids.
we'd wrapped his present 2 weeks ago too…so no last minute wrapping…it was a volleyball net.
it was very relaxing.
in annie's card she put green rectangles of paper…money for dad.
scott ran to the gas station and bought 2 two liters of pop to give craig as a present.
so funny.
daddies always need helpers…especially with that many candles.
after dinner, cake, and gifts we went out for some bean bag toss.
(annie calls it "beaning bag toss")
the weather was perfect.
the sunset was gorgeous.
happy birthday to my favorite man.

Mrs. - In Ohio they have a similar game. It is called…corn hole. Seriously. EVERYONE has one, usually featuring the logo of their favorite team. First time I heard it (we are not from here but live here now) I had NO IDEA what people were talking about.
I especially love the photos of the cake. Gives a great impression of how wonderful the celebration must have been, the excitement over the candles and cake. Sigh. I wish y’all would throw my birthday party.
Tracy - Happy Birthday, Craig!
Anna - Happy Birthday Craig! Sounds like you all had a nice time.
God bless!!!

Shannan - When I saw that first picture, and saw you in it, I wondered “Who took that fabulous shot?” Seriously – it’s perfect! You have obviously passed your artsy eye right down the line. And the two-liters of pop thing is a total crack up.
