Happy Birthday Scott!

Happy, Happy Birthday Scooty Dear! Yesterday was Scott's big day. He wanted it to be a very simple and low key day and it was. For a special birthday surprise he came to church with us in the morning! Yahoo. It was sooooooooooooooo nice to have him in Sacrament meeting. Afterward, we said Happy Birthday and goodbye and he was off to work for the day. We continued on with Primary, Ward Council, Scout Meeting, afternoon naps and then finally it was time to get ready for the big party.

I let the girls decorate the house with streamers and the Happy Birthday banners. It turned out to be mostly decorated in scotch tape. We wrapped the presents and made chicken cordon bleu, baked potatoes, spinach salad and root beer for dinner and apple crisp for dessert. We were all ready when a tired birthday man arrived home. To his surprise, Brielle had prepared a few "party games" for him to play as soon as he came through the door. Lucky. One was to follow the trail of raisins through the house to a hidden surprise. All "you know what" broke loose when she discovered Zachary had eaten all the raisins!

We ate and then had our good friends, the Winns, over for dessert and to sing with us. Scott opened some new running shoes and socks (that he had spent an hour choosing at the running store the day before) and surprise, surprise, was very happy with the presents we gave him.

Happy Birthday Scott!
Zachary doesn't usually wear ties yet, but saw Scott putting his on and ran to find his own. He begged to have it on just like Scott. Not matching, but so cute.

 

 Brielle thought she might be going to prom rather than church with Dad.
