Happy Birthday Lane!

Today is Lane's 31st birthday. I don't think he was very excited about it. And he kind of got gipped because he had to work all day & we're about to drive to Dallas. I wanted him to feel like today was still special so last night I blew up 72 balloons & our entire living room floor was covered with them. When he woke up this morning to head out, he got a little surprise.

Here E is enjoying the new toys.

When he got home I had his favorite tacos waiting for him. Then he opened presents. I got him a bunch of shirts.

But his favorite gift was The Slap Chop. We are a sucker for infomercials & he has been wanting this for a long time. He was very happy. And it even came with The Graty. Jealous?

Happy Birthday Lane!! Hope it was a good one! I didn't even realize he was the same age as me; I always thought he was a few years younger.

I can't believe you blew up all those balloons...I would of passed out! But it looked like Elliot had a blast.

Happy Birthday Lane! It is pretty impressive that you blew up so many balloons. I bet you it looked awesome. I am a sucker for infomercials too. You will have to check out the super switch! Elliot would love that when she gets older. I have one in Susie's room (so she can turn on her lamp all by herself) and in the bathroom for her. Can't wait to see you guys soon.

We are total suckers for the informercials too. Seriously impressed that you blew up 72 balloons. I was exhausted after like 20. That's what I call a dedicated wifey!

That cracks me up that you love infomercials... Scott and I love them too. Scott is always trying to think up things to sell on an infomercial one day. :) Yeah, we'll see about that.
