January 7, 2011...Happy Birthday!

Today was Daddy's birthday - he was supposed to be working but wasn't feeling hot so we got to spend the night with him which is a little silver lining to his dark cloud.  Since we weren't expecting him home to celebrate, we had already done his present earlier in the day and had no cake for candles or celebrating.  We just couldn't have that though, so after dinner I whipped up a batch of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies just so we'd have SOMETHING to stick a candle in.  Nate helped by picking the candles and putting them in the cookies for me.  He insisted that Daddy have two candles and even got to help him blow them out.

**(Every day since Nate's been asking to give Daddy more candles to blow out but he only gets one chance just like everybody else!)
