The kids and I planned a fun party for Jon at home. The girl's came home from school and eagerly got started on decorating the house with streamers and balloons. Ikaika chose the streamer colors: Blue, like Thomas the Tank Engine, and Green, like Thomas' friend, Percy. They all blew up balloons and strategically placed them all around the diningroom and greatroom. Then they all had ideas of how the birthday sign should look. They all drew and colored so thoughtfully. I made brownies (Jon doesn't like cake...) and stacked them to look somewhat like a wedding cake. The kids' put colored candles all over the "cake tower". We ordered take-out from Chili's, which is Jon's favorite, and we waited for daddy to come home. When we heard the garage door open, we lit the candles, turned off the lights, and hid. "Surprise! Happy Birthday!" We hope Jon enjoyed his party because we sure enjoyed preparing for it. Sorry y'all had to miss it!
