Daddy's Birthday

Cute kids, decorating wrapping paper for one of Daddy's presents:

As you get older birthdays get a little less exciting (or, at least, that's how it seems to me... !).  That is only true, however, until you have kids old enough to get excited about your birthday for you!

And we have 3 of them.  I'm not sure Lincoln was totally hyped about the birthday, so I'm not counting him in that total.  

For weeks the kids have been discussing their Father's birthday.  Making cards, talking about what presents we should get him, counting down the days, counting down the hours.... they were super excited about this big day!  Bentley woke up at 6 something in the morning to come wish his Father a happy birthday.  Unfortunately for him (and for Matt), Daddy had already headed off to work due to an early early conference call and a full day of meetings.  We caught him on the phone though so it all worked out.

Anyway.  Needless to say I too was very excited when today finally arrived.  In part, I'll admit it, due to the fact that I wouldn't be hearing about it anymore!  And we wouldn't have to keep hushing Jake and Viva when they were overcome with the desire to share with their Father about his presents.  Before his birthday.  :)

(Lincoln was already in bed after eating huge amounts of cake when this picture was taken, we didn't forget him!!)

Happy happy Birthday to you Matt!  Legos, clothes, books, music... and manically excited children that love you to pieces.  What more could a guy want?!
