Happy Birthday Daddy!

This past Wednesday was Daddy's birthday. Mommy and I were very careful to make sure it was a nice and relaxing day for Daddy...sort of. Actually, Aunt Julie got engaged the weekend before so we had plans to go wedding dress shopping with her, Grandma Romney, and Aunt Melanie on that day. It was also our last time to see her before she goes back to school. We figured this would be a good thing for Daddy becuase he could sleep in and have a nice quite house for a little while.

Mommy made Daddy some breakfast the night before, so all he had to do that day was put it in the oven when he was ready to eat it. We also got him a video game he likes--Gran Turismo--hoping he could relax and play games while we were gone. Then that morning Mommy and I got up and went dress shopping!

Daddy did get to sleep in, but he had a busy day after that. He really likes to cook for people, and since Grandma and Grandpa Romney and Julie were in town he wanted to have everyone over for a BBQ and cake. So as soon as he got up he started making a very yummy lemon cake, then when everyone came over he grilled some hamburgers. We also had delicious baked beans and corn on the cob. It was a wonderful meal and it was so fun to celebrate with everyone. Even though he was busy cooking all the stuff, Daddy says it was a great birthday for him too.

He also got more presents--we got him an ice cream maker for his kitchen aid and a Ben and Jerry's ice cream recipe book. Daddy's favorite kind of Ben and Jerry's ice cream got discontinued this year, so Mommy decided this was the best way for him to still get his ice cream. And we got him a political book on tape, and some other fun things.

It was a busy day full of fun and family. Aunt Julie got a beautiful wedding dress, and Mommy had a great time with her Mommy and sisters that day. And in the end, we had a fun birthday celebration with Daddy.
Birthday's are fun!
