2021 birthday

Thank you to my wife, kids and friends for a nice birthday.

Dinner and dessert at home the night of.

Presents

And the next night, a fun night out with friends at a comedy club.  Good memories.

Kristen Birthday - 3

Kristen's main gift this year was tickets for me and her to the Celtic Woman concert in Boston on Friday night. Kristen has loved this group of singers, their music and has watched them on PBS for the last couple years saying...someday....I want to go. Well, I made that happen for this year. We got a babysitter, got dressed up and enjoyed a night at the event center.

I know that Kristen enjoyed the event very much and I enjoyed the evening out with her :)

Kristen Birthday - 2

Just wanted to add a few little notes about the rest of the day.
- I took the day off and spent it with my wife...that was great
- She got to take a nap :)
- We went to dinner to the Olive Garden, which she loves
- We ate WAY TOO MUCH
- They sang to her :)
- The boys sang several times
- The desserts were awesome

- This is a good looking group of people:

Kristen Birthday 1

This was the boys giving mom her card...watch for the dancing...:)

Jacob's Birthday Party

We had a great time for Jacob's birthday party at PINZ in Milford this last weekend. It completely wore Kristen and I out, but, Jacob had a blast! Here are a few pictures:

"Which way was the bowling ball supposed to go?"

Yes...this incredible cake was made by Kristen and I...together. We are taking orders, but...if you have to ask how much, then you probably can't afford us :)

Our boys...Enjoying a day at the lanes :)

More Birthday Cards

My wife:

Always great with the sentimental...she is too good to me :)

Jeremy:

I think Jeremy has decided that he is stuck with us as his family and has decided to revel in it...

Dad and Linda:

Sweet and supportive...

Awesome Cards for my birthday this year...

Let me share with everyone...

Janelle's card:

Now family never lets family forget ANYTHING...and in the spirit of this my sister gave me this card...

Now as cute and funny as this is...it gets better...as the card opened up, it sang...Your Unbelievable by EMF...AND, of course, this is EXTREMELY FUNNY because I shared with my family once that I had terribly misunderstood these lyrics when I was younger...score 1 for Janelle :)

Emily's Card:

She gets an award for sweetness and poignancy due to timing about missing us and my wife's heart breaking for not being in Colorado at this time...

More to follow....

My Birthday

Yes, happy birthday to me.
My family called and gave me cards and brownies, my wife and kids gave me gifts (I will post pictures soon), and I enjoyed a couple hours with my boys reading, playing and hanging out. It was a good day :)

Kristen's birthday present

This is what I spent my time on today. She is now waiting for me to call the cable company to get the cable hookup enabled. I may not be a great handyman, but, I gave it a go and it seems to look pretty good. Will have to see if Kristen really is able to get more cooking done now and is able to watch the news like she expects.

Kristen's birthday

My lovely wife had a birthday today. She was still up early with the kids (dressing them, taking Jaden to school), still busy with the house (general clean up and one of the boys figured out to overflow the toilet) and still busy making meals (lunches for school, etc.). Maybe not the most relaxing, greatest birthday, I am sure, but she knows that she is loved by her family and friends. Happy birthday honey.
