Lordie, lordie, look who's 40!!!

We celebrated David's 40th birthday on wednesday! WOW! He wanted something that would last since this was a milestone in his life...well, we decided that we would get him 40gifts to open!!
We bought a laundry basket(thank goodness he has somewhere to pile his laundry now) and filled it up!


He got a new hat-much needed!



A thermos for coffee-much wanted!



A book about listening!!!!!



...some candy he loves:)





...a card about the forgetfulness that comes with age!!!






He really enjoyed opening everything--he had fun trying to guess what each item was:)
The girls had fun passing the gifts to him!!---and helping tear into a few!

His celebration dinner was enchiladas and we finished with an All American Chocolate cake---wow-there was a lot of heat from those candles---and he actually had enough wind in one blow...


...to get them all out at one time!!!!!


with all that smoke, you think we would have been calling the fire dept?! good thing the patio door was near!




what a cake!!!!! ...check out the bowl full of candles...hahahaha



It was a great day for all----and oh, my belly still hurts from that cake!
