JEFF IS 40!

Jeff hit the BIG 4-0 on the 16th!! 

He had to work, but the kids and I worked on having dinner and dessert ready for him when he got home.  He requested homemade sweet and sour meatballs and an apple pie.  Of course we had to make a chocolate cake also.

Rena did a great job of measuring and mixing and then Maleah, Rena and Cameron all worked on frosting and decorating........ 

When he arrived home we hid and then yelled "happy birthday" as he walked through the door.  He also had to immediately put on his birthday hat and button!.......

Not quite 40 candles, but we couldn't fit anymore (& I didn't have anymore!).......

It might not seem like a big deal to all of the bakers out there, but I actually made an apple pie - (from scratch - the whole thing - even the crust!)  It was one request from Jeff for his birthday dinner and I did it!  And it was even pretty good........
 
We didn't do much to celebrate, but the kids worked hard to make it a special evening for Jeff with their homemade treats and cards.  I think it was a happy day for everyone!

HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY JEFF!  WE LOVE YOU!

Happy Birthday Jeff!!!! Your pie looks delicious and the cake looks so tasty but I am a little disturbed by the JK Athletics sweatshirt that Jeff is wearing. Does he know that thing is close to 40 years old also????? That cracks me up!!!!!
