Another year older and another year wiser? Yep, that's my old man! Gone are the days of extended happy hours, 3 hour birthday dinners, and never-ending after-dinner drinks. Oh boy, B and I use to know how to celebrate a birthday! We still do, but the celebration has become more relaxed, more loving with our girls, and heck, the day after feels a whole lot better.
We spent our evening just the way B had requested - at home with our family. The girls helped him open his gifts and Grandma and Grandpa Meyer joined us for a delicious dinner of steak, crab legs, and twice baked potatoes. We sang happy birthday and the girls helped him blow out his candles. B even indulged in a little birthday strawberry-rhubarb pie. It was a wonderful night and I'm very grateful for my family. I'm lucky to be married to such a good husband, good father and overall good guy! I hope he enjoyed his birthday celebration and we showed him a good time - I can't think of anyone who deserves it more!
I really wanted a picture of B and his girls. Instead of saying "Smile", he said "ok, girls lets show Momma our teeth". And this is what I get..... (love it!)
As Daddy wastes precious time reading cards, Annabelle sneaks right in to the bag and starts checking out the gifts. Gwyneth sits in awe at her sister's stealth-like gift-stealing skills. (Annabelle is playing with a marinade brush - the interest in her daddy's gifts did not last for long).
Annabelle giving her Daddy a round of applauce for opening the rest of his gifts.
Big birthday hugs!
Gwyneth is not one to be left out or to be outdone. She basically tackled her Daddy to give him birthday hugs. She gives the best hugs and pats your back at the same time. 
PJ time - although we may have been wise to wait until after cake to change this girls clothes.
Happy Birthday, B!
(I would avoid the ends of the cake where the girls have "spit" out the candles!)
