Blake's actual birthdate is February 5th but he has been partying since the 4th and there is really no end yet. I decided I need to write some of this down or I would forget things. Saturday the 4th I took Blake out for his traditional dinner at Texas Roadhouse. He looks forward to this all year. He will never let me tell the waitress that it is his birthday but this year we got to see several other people have to sit on the saddle and everyone yell "yeeehaa." We usually just ignore it and continue with our dinner but Kenlee LOVED it and would yell with them so then Blake had to join in. By the end of our dinner she was asking if we could yell again. I had planned on taking him for ice cream after dinner but we all way over ate so we opted to just go home. Because his birthday was a Sunday this year I had to prepare his cheesecake that Saturday. I am pretty sure that this was the best looking one so far.
Sunday morning before church Kenlee and I decorated the house for his birthday. After that we gave Blake his gifts. We got him 5 brand new ties. I was only going to get 4 but Kenlee had to get her daddy the pink one.
The new ties!
Before we left for church I had him stand under his birthday sign and takes some pictures, to show off his new tie and to just document. Doesn't he look so dapper......
Blake's birthday was also on the super bowel this year so the whole world was celebrating with us...... in a way. We went to Blake's parents house to party after church. After a great dinner we settled in and watched the game. Once the game was over we had cheese cake. Yummy! This years request was butterscotch swirled in the cheesecake and butterfinger crumbled on top. It turned out pretty good.
After cake we did more birthday gifts. Blake's parents got him a really nice pair of golf shoes so that he could be all professional on the course.
His next party was on the following Sunday with my family. Blake's pick for dinner was chicken enchiladas. They were so good. After dinner we went into the living room to open gifts. Brock, Tiffany, Karlee, Brady and Nathan got Blake a GIANT bag of peanut butter M&Ms and Oceans Thirteen on Blu-ray.
My parents got him a fabulous beach towel (so now when we go boating he will have his own) and the new movie Real Steal. He has really wanted to see that movie and we never get a chance to see it because of his crazy busy schedule.
After gifts we had cake and sang Happy Birthday. He had his traditional homemade red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.
After we were done we all went downstairs and watched Real Steel. It was such a good couple of weeks and there is still more to come. His request for his homemade birthday dinner is Lasagna but we have been so busy the last little while that I have not had the right amount of time home to make it so that will hopefully be dinner tomorrow (finally, sorry honey). And then because Blake's sister and brother and their families couldn't make it up for his birthday we will be celebrating with them on Sunday. When all is said and done he will have been celebrating for over three weeks. Spoiled boy. With everything he does he totally deserves it!
Happy Birthday Blake!!!
