Yesterday was my hubby's birthday. The children were so excited they made sure to let him know.They waited anxiously, undecided whether to turn the lights on or off for their surp
rise.
They really wanted to have a hot dog roast with lots of ketchup, chips, cake and marshmallows over a patio fire, but I finally convinced them that it was too cold for the outdoors.

They helped set the table, and dinner was set and ready as he walked through the door. Instead of the roast, we had Jalapeno Chicken over rice, biscuits and dessert!
10yr. old played the piano and we all sang Happy Birthday. Then he blew out his candle and we all sat down for dinner.
Daddy loves banana pudding so I made him a banana cream trifle. (Same thing ,except I made the cake in a larger pan than normal, added peanutbutter chips and chocolate chips. When cooled, I cut it into small cubes and replaced this for the vanilla wafers. )
I think he was surprised and touched by it all.

Very neat! I love that the kids are standing at the window waiting for their dad. That's really nice!
Thanks, Sonya. I was so tickled by it, that when he walked in the door and they started singing, I couldn't stop laughing.
