It's Mike's 30th!

Well I have cleaned the house and wrapped the presents (and other random items). Now we are just waiting for the Birthday Boy to come home. Mike is turning the big 3o, and he's not so sure he wants to. We are hoping to go out to dinner tonight. It all depends on what time he comes home from work. This blog is to be continued.







We ended up having a great night. Mike got home about 6:30. We quickly sang, ate cake and opened presents. Gretchen was so excited about our little party. Mike loves opening a ton of things so I wrapped some sweet treats for him (Barq's and Cocoa Puffs.) When Mike opened the Cocoa Puffs Gretchen said "oh, oh can I hold it?" Then when he opened the Barq's she kept repeating "wow." She didn't really care that much about the book and shoes Mike got. After festivities we dropped Gretchen off at Arian and Justin's for Babysitting. (Thanks you two for a great night out!) We went to a great Italian Restaurant called, Trattoria Delia. It was a wonderful night!
