Happy, Happy Birthday Tommy Dear!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY THOMAS!! February 16th is a very important day in our family.  Our Dad (Thomas) is 28! He is almost an old man, which means I am almost old, which is freaky...but we had a good day, despite this fact.  Tom woke up to the beautiful sounds of me and Marilyn (and Maggie) singing "Happy Birthday".  Maggie and Marilyn howl along with me as I sing at the top of my lungs.  I called him all morning, making sure he remembered it was his birthday and that we LOVE him like crazy.  Unfortunately, Tom had to go to Coyote Springs so he couldn't come home for lunch, but he knew we love him, he got to ride alone so he was able to listen to his book on tape.  He rocked the face off his meeting, and then headed home.  We were pretty lucky that he could come home at 4 and celebrate with us! My parents sent a present a week ago.  It was in huge box and it was sitting in front of our tv all week.  Tom has been DYING to open it...but we resisted and finally the time came! He ripped it open and here is his face...cute right?

Thomas loves this birthday present...it is a HUGE remote control airplane called the Super Club.  It is completely radical, and it is going to make splash at the park. It has a half mile range, a 47.75 inch wingspan and anti crash technology.   Tom already has little kids following him around when he takes his little Champ out, but we are going to have to plan a lot more time at the park.  Marilyn was pretty impressed with the plane and it was hard to keep her little hands off!

Please excuse Marilyn's pantless self, she won't keep her pants on these days!

This is how humongous the wings/body are...crazy right?

Marilyn and I got him a new climbing harness, and unfortunately we were unable to keep it a secret (hence the different clothes).  I think he was pretty excited...what do you think?

Since Tom had mutual on his birthday we couldn't do much during the evening.  Kristin (our neighbor/BFF)

offered to watch our little Marilyn so we could go out and celebrate Tom's birthday.  We loved being able to spend some time alone, and were so grateful that Kristin offered to do this for Tom's birthday...best present ever! (Thanks a million Kristin)

I made these cupcakes for Tom to take to mutual...pretty fabulous right?

All and all, it was a pretty fantastic birthday! It makes us excited for many more birthdays to come, more fabulous cupcakes, a little rock climbing and alot of time at the park with our newly acquired Super Cub!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM! WE LOVE YOU!
