Happy Belated Birthday, Shane

Only belated here on Blogger, because you better believe we didn't forget it here at home. It started with Savannah remembering at 7 a.m. by bringing in a gift, wrapped in a blanket with love, for her daddy. Then Cael came in with a present. Then Landry screamed from her crib, something about "blah, daddy, blah" which I interpreted as "I want out so I can shower daddy with homemade gifts too". So there was no sleeping in for Shane on his birthday, but seriously why sleep in when you can get gifts, hugs and a hot breakfast? Yeah, I know, it was a hard decision for us too.


We got to celebrate last night with a full house (not really, there was a little room for more loved ones...hint, hint), a great dinner and a cake with a couple of candles on it.

You see, I'm not one to show sympathy for those who are old, and I wanted to show off Shane's lung capacity - even in his old age - so we went for the full effect with 35 candles on the cake. Quite impressively he got them all out, in one breath, without any help.

Amazingly, the smoke detector located directly above Shane didn't even go off.

So, Happy belated birthday, Shane. I love you! Even if you are over a third of a century old, closer to 40 than 30, and kind of gray. :)

Looks like lots of fun! Sorry I wasn't there to watch the flames. I can imagine that the kids were totally excited. Shane looks pretty good for an old guy. Hope your birthday was great and the next year is profitable and fun.
