We celebrated Dee's birthday two days after Charles Tucker's, which was on September 27th. Hints why it has taken me a couple of weeks to get it on this blog/scrapbook. I was a little burned out after 4 birthdays in August and September. So glad Mary Taylor's birthday isn't until the end of November, still have a couple of weeks before I have to start thinking about it!
Well, I had fun with Dee's birthday too after my friend Anne suggested I do a theme party, so he would not feel left out, of course I think she was trying to be funny, but I thought it was a great idea. Then she suggested a plethra ofcheesy fun ideas to make him feel special and get a good laugh in all at the same time. Well, because Dee love's reformed theology, Anne suggested I go in that direction. Of course I am laughing the whole time she is texting these ideas to me, but I thought it was perfect especially since it would not cost any money, which is a perfect birthday party for my husband!!
He was very surprised when he came home to this on the walls!
For dinner, we had mashed potatoes with sauted spinach and flank steak, which he prepared because he doesn't trust me with meat on the grill, I don't blame him...I was perfectly happy for him to help cook, besides he enjoys it. While we were eating I told him quotes from these theologians and then he had to guess which one said it. I don't think I picked very easy ones, because he only got 2 correct out of 15, opps! I promise the site said "Famous quotes by reformed theologians." It was still fun! I think this quote was by Martin Luther, who is on the bottom, middle, right in the picture above.
When everyone was finished eating, we play "Theology Bingo", which Henry wanted to play over and over again. It was fun for them to help celebrate daddy's birthday. Henry was also very curious about these men and kept asking Dee if these were his favorite people. It was cute.
Then we sang "Happy Birthday" to daddy over his pumpkin whoopies, which was a "pinterest recipe". They really weren't that hard to make, but I am still impressed I made something from scratch, especially these days! This is his favorite dessert in the fall and winter when Trader Joes has them in stock, so it was a real treat to eat them out of season.
We really had a fun time preparing all day for his birthday, the kids helped me make the pumpkin whoopies and were excited to surprise daddy when he came home from work! Oh, yeah we also made him a card that included a page from each of the kids and then one from me. They each drew a picture of how daddy shows them God's love. Henry drew daddy taking him to eat ice cream. Mary Taylor wanted to trace her hand, so then I helped her think of words that describe daddy to put inside her hand. Charles Tucker told me he wanted to draw an egg with leaves around it, so I helped him draw it, it was cute to see their own ideas come out! then I wrote the 31 best things about my hubby and put it in the back of the book, which was titled, "Happy Birthday to our Redeemed Daddy." Yes, I was totally being so cheesy, but that's what made it fun and I think he felt special and loved!
