Zak's birthday was Sunday and we had a little get together here at the house on Saturday night….
It was all of us and a few of my friends and we had a really good time. Mom, Niki, Rick, Shelly, Scott, Steve and me and Zak. Scotty and Shelly brought their boys and the kids all played together while the grown ups visited and had a few drinks…it was a really fun time. Zak got to kick back and have a few more beers than he normally would because he's usually the driver, which was really cool. I love when he gets to kick back and have a really good time. And a really good time he had, let me tell you. 🙂
Sunday, it was just me, zak, the kids and my mom….Zak made his cake (he makes a WAY better cake than I can, so he does the cake thing….but less you think the poor man got screwed, I DID make him a cheesecake, for his present…:-) ) The kids helped him decorate it…..
Don't you just love this??…can you see the adoration in my daughter's eyes? That kid LOOOOVES chocolate….in fact, love is an understatement…I think she'd marry a chocolate bar, if she could! LOL I think the fact that we limit how much chocolate she has, does not help the matter, either. LOL
Isn't it pretty??? LOL
This picture just cracks me up….I love Ben's look and Jaime trying to be all slick like with the cake…..too funny.
Ben helping Zak blow out his candles…
Love this picture…..
This birthday was tough without her. It just wasn't the same this year, it just didn't feel the way his birthday feels when we were up in Alaska….it wasn't a bad birthday, by any means…it was just different. Up in Alaska, it's just felt bigger. Everyone gets involved, everyone hangs out all day, getting ready for it…even if someone has to work, we would still keep in touch all throughout the day, in preperation for the PAHTAAAAYYY!!
it's an EVENT and something we plan and look forward to, for a long time…..
So while we had a really good time and it was fun…..Ceci and our Alaska people were definitely missed. 🙂
Sometimes it's so hard to put things into words without hurting someone's feelings…..I want Ceci and our Alaska people to know they were missed, but I don't want the people that are here to feel like it wasn't a fun birthday, because it was….it was just different….
Really, I don't know what I'm so worried about…most of my family doesn't read this blog, anyway…..LOL
But just in case, I wanted to point that out……:-)
Happy, Happy Birthday, husband!!! Love you!!!
