Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad's birthday! To celebrate we had my mom and dad over yesterday for lunch. We had some barbeque chicken sandwhiches, cole slaw, macaroni salad, and a green salad. I realized today that I forgot to make the baked beans but my mom is probably glad that I forgot. Then we had some present time and we (the four kids) got him some micro speakers/radio for his office. He was saying how it was too quiet in there so he was glad that he can now have some nice background music or even a Cardinals baseball game. He is very funny when it comes to presents, it was the first thing he noticed when he came in our house and he sat in a chair with the box tapping it, feeling it, etc until lunch time (now I know where I get my love of presents and impatience in waiting for them from ). Then after lunch, we decided he had waited long enough so he could open his present. He was very excited! Then it was time for dessert, a home made ice cream pie (with home made ice cream). We didn't get to sing happy birthday because he was already in the basement watching the recorded Olympic marathon, so we just had to bring him his piece with two candles on it. He was so wrapped up in the marathon that he didn't want to blow his candles out but thankfully Nelson could pause it so that he would have time to make a wish and blow out his candles. All and all it was a good celebration. Here are some pics that I took afterwards since I kinda forgot to take them while they were still here.
