Happy "Boo"fday Chris

So, I went looking for a cake for Chris birthday. The only stipulation was that it had to be chocolate. I came across a lovely chocolate cake with three ghosts on it and decided I would be funny and play off the ghosts and have the cake decorating girls write Happy Boo-fday Chris. I thought it was quite creative, but I don't think the girl who had to write it thought it was that funny, and I think I only got a few other chuckles from it. The biggest laughs were from peoples mouths turning a dark blackish-blue, as if we had eaten the ink from a pen, when they ate the black frosting the words were written with.



Chris was on call for his birthday so we "slept" in (sleeping in for us is anything past 6am). We made a very tasty birthday breakfast of fluffy pancakes, eggs and sausage. So big that neither of us was even hungry for lunch. Chris had to round on the patients in the hospital, and then we just lazed around until it was time for church. After we were spiritually enhanced we went home to prepare for the big birthday dinner. Chris' first pick for his dinner was cheesy-potatoes, a mother-in-law favorite. We stuffed ourselves enough that I think we had chocolate cake and cheesey-potatoes coming out our ears. One of Chris' presents was Super Mario Kart, which we played for a while after it was opened. Rich wanted to forego the rest of the presents and get straight to playing Mario Kart.








One special treat for Chris that was there in all of its white and fluffy glory was a couple inches of snow on the ground. We decided that was his birthday present from God. It didn't stick around long, but it sure spurred wishful thoughts of winter skiing.




Well, Chris, one year older and wiser...I just have to let everyone know how great I think you are. Exceptional in many ways. I truly do not know how I got so lucky. I hope you had a great birthday and I am glad I get to celebrate you every year.
I love you!
