We never get to celebrate my dad’s birthday with him. But when we found out that he’d be driving up to visit for the weekend to be able to attend Hunter’s first birthday party, it dawned on me that we’d be only a few weeks shy of his 60th birthday. And, if you ask me, 60 is well worth celebrating.
All of us kids always go out to dinner with my dad when he’s here, so we told him that the plans were as normal, and I made reservations at a local restaurant for Friday night. What we didn’t tell him, however, was that dinner would be in celebration of his birthday. It was really casual, but he was really surprised when I showed up with balloons and gifts and told them they were for him!
Despite some extremely bad service, we had a good time and enjoyed the food. Of course, Hunter came along as well–sporting a brand new “big boy” haircut!
Hunter’s big party is tomorrow!

I'm Heather. I'm 33 and have been married to Michael for seven years. Together, we have two beautiful little girls we love more than anything, and a miniature dachshund who drives us crazy. I'm a full-time working mom who has very little time for my own "stuff" these days, like home improvement, cooking/baking, cake decorating, and photography. Despite the team not making the playoffs since 1999, I'm STILL a Buffalo Bills fan, which I think speaks to my loyalty AND sense of humor. I can't wait to pick up the pace with travel again some day... you know, when we're done being ruled by tiny fists. Welcome to my blog.
