Monday was Jefferson's birthday. I bought him a badge that read "Birthday Boy" while simultaneously blinking a red light (this was after he bought a badge for me that reads "21, Finally!" ...I might help him lose that one...). I made him promise to wear it all day and he received many a chuckle (especially when he used the excuse that his wife is making him wear it).
Previous to that day, I had been hiding his present at my parent's house, and the Sunday before, while we were visiting, I had my sister sneak away and wrap it and then bring it out to me. Jefferson kept trying to sneak peeks at it all the way home, and we live less than five minutes away!
He got home before I did on his actual birthday, and I made him swear over the phone that he would not even breath on the bag his gift was in, let alone touch it! When I walked through the door, Jefferson was trying to act all nonchalant, but he was truly excited about his birthday present (I mean it was his first birthday home from his mission, and his first birthday with me, and I was pretty excited, too!) and had been itching to open it. Not being a cruel wife, he got to open it almost as soon as I walked through the door, and got my cute little camera all ready, of course!
the big moment
how'd that get in there?
(It honestly wasn't part of my gift, my mother slipped it to him!
How did she know Almond Roca's were one of his favorites,
that's what I want to know! You're making me look bad, woman!)
lots of letters from loved ones
(Not to mention facebook posts!
He was loving all the attention!)
ta-daaah!
(A brand new coat! And he loves it!)
After present opening, we went to Olive Garden (on a gift card from Jefferson's mom) and then came home and played a couple rounds of Super Mario Smash Bros Brawl on our new Wii that we got on black friday.
Happy Birthday, sweet boy! I love you!
oh that's a nice looking coat! well done! and happy birthday to jefferson! p.s. your mom knows everything. she's gifted. :)
