Happy Birthday, Doug!

We made it a week of celebrating Doug's birthday...it was definitely fun for everyone, especially the kids :).

We started out our week by going to my parent's house for a little celebration. After some yummy dinner of Pei Wei, we sang, ate cake, and opened Doug's BIG gift...a new laptop! Now, all I can say is that he was one happy "boy" and has spent a little too much time on his new toy this week...but that's to be expected :).On Friday, we went to The Pie to celebrate with Doug's family. Noah was a bit sad that he had to miss out because he had school, but that's life, right? We had a great time sitting and chatting for two hours! Isaac was a bit grumpy, mostly due to his dang teeth, but we managed. Thanks to everyone who came!

Doug and Isaac...when he was not so grumpy and irritable :).Doug with our nieces, Elizabeth and Madison. Aren't they so cute, and they are getting so big! I remember when they were just little girls running around! Love them!The group.Yesterday was Doug's actual birthday. He wasn't feeling to well, and neither was Isaac, so Doug stayed home with our little guy while I went to church with Noah and Leah. When we got home, Doug was telling us to be quiet because Isaac was sound asleep on the couch! Now, Isaac is not one to sleep anywhere, so I was just dying at how cute he was sound asleep holding his Wii remote! Ha! Good job dad!It turned out that Doug had to still go to church to do a few things, so while he was gone we blew up a TON of balloons and made him some homemade cards...all, of which, was Noah's idea! As soon as Doug came home, Noah and Leah hid and then jumped out with such excitement on their faces! They just love surprising people :). Doug sat and read their cards, which were so cute! I'm glad that Doug appreciated his sweet little gifts from his kids :). They sure do love him a LOT!Noah was especially proud of his card because he wrote it all by himself!

We love you Doug...so much! We hope that you had a wonderful Birthday!!
