And He Turns 25

The first words out of my husband's mouth last Friday morning were "Guess what?"  Me. "Whaaaat" "My birthday weekend starts tonight!"  I couldn't help but be so attracted to his cuteness.  You know how we do birthdays around here.  This year would be no different!  Little did he know he got surprised, yet again, Friday night.  Friday we celebrated with Cody and Lindsey.

We went to John's favorite Mexican restaurant and enjoyed company on the porch.  Simple and just what he wanted.  I got him so good though, it was hilarious! 

Big thanks to Cody and Lindsey for helping pull that off!  I had my students at work that day also make him a big poster.  He loved it.

Saturday was spent enjoying yard sales and each others company.  I decided to give John his gift on this day so that he could enjoy it over the weekend.  All he's been talking about is a hummingbird feeder and how wonderful it would be to have birds around the house.  

Ok... So I bought the man a bird feeder. 

I haven't seen him so excited!  He loved it and spent a while putting it together and then we sat and watched, and waited for the birds.  It was a fun way to spend our afternoon!  We then enjoyed dinner at his grandparents house.  Just us four.   It really was a treat!  We had a delicious meal and great company.  

Sunday we enjoyed lunch at his families house.   

We enjoyed quite a few laughs from the smoke all the 25 candles was giving off.  It was funny enough watching Luke and Andrew try to light all 25 of them fast enough so no wax would drip!  

It took a while and Steve took some funny candids during the whole ordeal!  I couldn't help but post a few!  

This is us Maholland's whenever we get together there is never a dull moment.  

We had a great visit.  

We piddled around their house and had a little fun decorating, playing games, and then we lazied around the rest of the afternoon until that evening.  

Mom and Dad came over to celebrate with us at our house for dinner.  We had a great visit!   Watched Big Brother of course which made it an even better visit!  I am so glad that they got to come!

His actual birthday, Monday was spent doing exactly whatever he chose to do.  He decided against his favorite restaurant and wanted me to cook at home instead.  What a treat!  

We had his favorite dish that I cook and sat on the porch and talked while the sun went down on his special day.

My sweet husband, I am so thankful for you.  You are such a Godly example and leader for our family.  Thank you for everything that you do for us. Thank you for being the man that God wants you to be.  I am so happy for you.  I love you.  Happy Birthday!
