Chris Birthday and Spring Break

I am a little behind, everything seems like it is moving so fast. We had Chris' 40th birthday party. We decided since he didn't have the best year, we wouldn't do all black especially since we have been joking about it so we surprised him and did everything as bright as we could. We did give him a 40th birthday pin and a black twisty straw with an old man sliding down it. We also gave him a special birthday cup, a giant teenage mutant ninja turtle cup. He was more into GI Joe and transformers but the cup was bright green and it went better with the decorations. I think he was surprised and had a good time. He is so good with the kids and acted like he loved their gifts even the homemade one from Brandon. (Bran tries hard but crafts just aren't his thing).
 Jessie gave him a stepping stone for his garden and a candle and a homemade card, her card she made had a bear and an outhouse on it to go with his outdoor likes
 We gave him this plaque that read "we do not stop having fun because we age, we age because we stop having fun"
 An outhouse toilet brush holder to complete his outhouse bathroom theme
 Decoration from the party, Mom made him a board with pics from his life
More of the decorations, the balloons were supposed to be neon colors
 
Mom said to make his cake colorful so I did, the inside was orange

Brandon's present he made, a vase with flowers, he also made him a card and bought him a clip on flashlight
 
 
The kids were also on spring break this week. On Tuesday we went to the movies to see Frozen which Jessie has been wanting to see forever. Wednesday we took the kids and dogs to the park and had lunch out there. Thursday we bought Jessie new sandals and watched movies at home. and Friday we went to the free day at the airport museum. It wasn't the most exciting week but I think they had fun and it was a break from school. With school only two months more, it is going fast, too fast. I am not ready for Brandon to be in middle school.
