happy birthday to my dear husband!

eric's birthday was a few days ago. he was actually working the night of his birthday so we postponed celebrating until tonight. we did go to dinner with some his family members (adults only!) to market street on tuesday. that was tons of fun. all the girls sat on one side. the food was yummy and the company even better. tonight we celebrated with the girls. savannah was so excited to give eric his card and present that he got them the minute he walked in the door. she wrote her name on his card all by herself. she also drew a picture of a snowman (that can walk). it was really sweet. we had a simple dinner of salad and baked potato. (his choice) and the our favorite guys from the northeast made a visit. we sang to eric with a plate of cookies. eric is totally a no fuss guy when it comes to his birthday. this used to frustrate me. i love a party. i love to plan a party. i love to have people over. eric is the opposite. he doesn't even want people to know it is his birthday. he would be happier if it were forgotten. he usually even buys his own present because that way he gets what he wants. this year i felt particularly bad. i usually make him something as a surprise and I didn't even do that. i know he understands but i love to make him feel special. he is an amazing guy. i feel so lucky that he is in my life and a father to my beautiful (or will be once the impetigo is gone) girls. so thanks eric. i hope it was a good one. next year i may actually plan something. i may not. be good or i will plan a big party!!
