We celebrated Daniel's birthday on June 2nd. The kids were so excited for his birthday. Daniel doesn't really care about gifts and there was nothing he wanted that was in our budget so I took the kids to the store and let them each pick him a present that was under a certain amount of money. It was really funny and they were very excited. They also ended up telling him what each present was before he opened it. I kept telling them that is was supposed to be a secret, but at least they lasted until we were getting ready to celebrate. I was surprised they lasted that long.
Staucie got him a little stuffed pony. Parker got him two race cars from the movie Cars. Bensen got him a small soccer ball. These are their most favorite things: ponies, cars, and balls. And Addie and I got him a movie.
We also made him a cake and since I baked a cake and a ham, the kitchen was super hot with the oven being on so long. The frosting was melting off the cake as I frosted it. So, I stuck the frosting in the freezer for a little bit and then quickly re-frosted the melted cake and put it in the fridge until after dinner.
I made one of his favorite meals: spiral ham, mashed potatoes, and corn. After they opened presents Daniel played cars and ponies with the kids until they went to bed. He is such a good dad. The kids LOVED his birthday.
Addie was a big partier.
Bensen was doing his tricks.
Please excuse my boys and their underware and diaper bums. Parker never wears pants and Bensen had some shorts on in the beginning but I guess they fell off because they are now missing for this picture :) He is skinny and loses his shorts sometimes.
