mhalebusiness: Papa's 26th Birthday

Today we were able to celebrate Papa's 26th birthday! It was so much fun! Momma let him sleep in until 8am- what a treat! She was up at about 6:30am with me that morning. We made decorations for Papa, a birthday card, and of course breakfast! It wasn't breakfast in bed, as that would have been tough for me to join in on, but Papa loved sitting at the new table with all of us! Momma made stuffed french toast, sausage, OJ, and Papa's favorite- coffee!

We played around the house for a bit, but then Momma had to get Katy and Aunt Paula from the cruise terminal. We welcomed them back to land and were able to visit for a while before they needed to head out. Aunt Paula had a plane to catch, and Katy had a trip to recover from.

We went to Mass, then came home. I took a long nap, which sounded good to Papa too I guess because that is how he spent the afternoon! When everyone woke up, we got dressed and had an early dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse. Papa had won a gift card at the squadron Christmas party, so it was decided as the place for dinner. We had so much fun! There were so many things to look at in the restaurant that I could hardly eat! I don't think Momma was too happy about that. After Papa finished his giant Margarita, it was time to go.

We stopped by my favorite store on the way home-Target! Spiderman 3 and a few other movies were on sale for $4.75 so Momma and Papa decided to take a look. After picking out a couple of flicks, we were back in the car. I took a bath right away and then helped Papa open his present. I was so tired though, that he put me to bed shortly after. I think he had a great day considering all the phone calls and text messages he received. Thanks to everyone who sent him a birthday wish! He's a great Papa.....we love him!

Papa in a nutshell- sharp object and a good drink!
