Nick's Birthday Week!

Last Sunday we had friends and family over for desert to celebrate Nick's birthday.

Nick requested Lemon Merangue Pie and Carrot Cake, I also made chocolate cupcakes and strawberry pizza.

(I should have done a better job ironing my table cloth!)

Nick had a meeting the evening of his actual birthday so we had our own little celebration for him at home on the day before. We hid his presents again this year and we sang "row, row, row your boat" quietly or really loud depending on how close he was to the presents. Next year I am going to video tape him looking for his presents. The kids get sooo excited about it!

(All of his gifts...a few from the night before)

this bag of candy definitely required his new BIG knife from Christian to open

and of course we just had to try out his new popcorn popper before going to bed!

The next morning was his real birthday, so I decided to actually make breakfast instead of just pouring cereal. But then he was off to a full day at work.

We had a small window of time together for dinner and I had a very busy day so we met up at Applebees in between work and his meetings.

Aaron had to bring his homework, but here he is sneaking a peek at the television.

The next day Nick left for an overnight flight and didn't return until Thursday night, so his requested birthday dinner of Ham and scalloped potatoes had to wait until Friday. We usually have pizza, but no one was complaining.(I forgot to take pictures of this part)

Hope you had a great week Nick!
