Happy Birthday, Daddy!


On Saturday, J turned the big 3-0! So E and I decided to have a birthday party for him. We invited the family and a few special friends over to help celebrate this momentous occasion. We spent a couple of days cooking in preparation for the party. We made a triple recipe of white chili and a double recipe of Mexican spiced shredded beef. Those are two of daddy's favorite foods. Mommy also made a trip to the Dollar Tree for a couple of simple decorations to spice up the sunroom.

Everyone gathered for lunch and a Dairy Queen Reese Cup Blizzard cake. It meant a lot to Daddy that everyone took the time to help him celebrate. Even Uncle R, Aunt J, and Baby L made the trip from Tullahoma for the party. This was Cousin L's first trip to Knoxville, and her first time to meet the big boy cousins. Since it was the first time the crew was all together, we decided it was a great photo op and rounded up all the kids for a pic. 
  Daddy got lots of nice gifts, including a watch and a creeper from E and Mommy. Since he has a nice big garage with space to work on the vehicles, he needed some new equipment.
He got a double battery charger for his drill, so now both of his batteries can be charged all the time. He also got a new shirt, some Reese cups, a Home Depot gift card, and money to buy some new jeans. Last but not least, he got a Chick-fil-a gift card from D and Z. Daddy loves Chick-fil-a and is looking forward to enjoying some yummy chicken biscuits for breakfast. Check out the look on his face when he saw the Chick-fil-a card.
After the party ended, the cousins got to spend some time together. They loved seeing L. The boys also enjoyed wrestling around in the floor and playing together. It was a great day!
