Daddy Turns 33

Joe turned the big 3-3 this month. The girls decided one year ago that there was only one correct way to celebrate their daddy's birthday and that was by treating him like the superhero he is. Abby and Ella still can't really wrap their minds around the fact that grown ups don't have huge birthday bashes for every single birthday. They wanted ALL of daddy's friends to come over in an all out Superman themed party. Joe's idea of a special birthday this year involved a quiet Tuesday with his family. So, the girls found ways to work Superman and daddy's favorites into the his day in different ways. He might be the only man in our house, but this you can be sure of...he is adored by every single lady and puppy here!

 

Birthday morning was a school morning for Abby and Ella (which means it also happened to be a date morning for mommy and daddy). Before the girls left for school, they made sure daddy opened some birthday gifts, including the Superman mug and Superman magnet they picked out especially for him and superhero daddy pictures they made for him to hang in his office.

Abby and Ella each made Joe a book. Ella was insistent that she read Joe the one she wrote. The improv is pretty impressive! :)

Then, Juliet and I took him out for breakfast! This guy makes thirty three look really good, doesn't he?

 The girls and I had big plans of making a homemade cheesecake for Joe's birthday, but figured out last minute that we were missing an ingredient! Plan B: Cheesecake Factory take out! Juliet and I drove to the restaurant to pick up two of Joe's favorite kinds of cheesecake, while the big girls planned a game for the big night...Cheesecake Wars: Birthday edition. Oreo beat Key Lime for the win! Kids make birthdays even more fun!

Happy 33rd Birthday to our guy! We love you so much!
