Birthday Boy

I was working on Brent's actual birthday, so we had a special birthday party for him at home a day later. Eli and Emma made special cards for him and setup a gift spot for him at the table. It was so sweet to see how excited they were! This is what Brent came home to:

Eli's idea was to get him a balloon and tie it around Maple Nut Goodies(Brent's favorite candy). He couldn't wait to give him...

Emma knows her Daddy loves coffee(especially Starbucks), so her gift was a gift card to the best coffee place in Knoxville! Everyone knows Brent's heart for Africa, so I had a picture enlarged and framed from his latest trip to West Africa:

He said it was one of the best gifts I have ever gotten him! I was happy to surprise him! I got a cookie cake for him and put one row of 3 candles and another row of 2 candles. We sang Happy Birthday to him and he, Eli, and Emma made a wish and blew out the candles!

It was such a great family night with a yummy dinner and birthday celebration! Happy 32nd Birthday Brent! This is him with our three little cuties:
