I have been pretty crazy this month, getting ready for Christian to start school and doing some pickling (I talk more about that on my other blog). On top of that we get to have our annual celebrations and one of my favorite one’s of all that that is to celebrate Jared and his birthday. I am so grateful that first of all, he was born and secondly that he is mine. Yes I realize that that sounds pretty possessive but it’s true. I’m glad that he’s mine. He is such a hard working, intelligent, great guy I’m so happy that I was smart enough to say “yes” when he asked me to marry him. He is a premium choice I made.
When I had asked Jared what he wanted a few weeks before his birthday he of course asked for German chocolate cake (I think he really does this because he was born in Germany, I personally don’t like this type of cake much but I make it once a year for him on his birthday). The catch was that he wanted to bring it with him to work. This meant that I really had to make it for him the day before his birthday.
I had his cake all ready to go with him the morning of his birthday and because both kids were up, I decided that we might as well sing to him while his cake was still intact.
My favorite shot with Jared, Vivian and Christian (the wall behind them is all patched up and ready to be taped and painted so it won’t always look this bad)
Here’s everyone hamming it up excessively…
When Jared got home from work we had him open presents while his birthday dinner finished cooking. So in a nutshell, we did things a little out of order for his day.
The kids were so excited for him to open his presents (this is the usual start of my house…a little rumpled).
Christian was so excited to look at the covers of all of Jared’s new books. My parent’s finished his “Fable Haven” collection for him and we gave him quite a few books too…if you can tell by the pictures.
We are so glad that Jared is a year older :). And hope to celebrate many, many, many more birthdays for him in the coming years!
Fun pictures! I hope Jared's Birthday was great! I love their hamming it up picture!
