Monday, January 18th, was my dad's birthday. Being that it was MLK day, none of the family had to work all day...except him! Haha--poor guy! I won't tell you how old he turned, but I'll be 27 this year, and he was 30 when I was born. ;)
I LOVE when there's a birthday and the family can all get together. Especially if there is food involved! :) So Monday night we all gathered at my parents' house: my mom, my dad, me, Justin, Drue, Todd (my brother), Angie (sister-in-law), and their 5 children ranging from 19 mos to 10 yrs. It's a house full! We all somehow managed to come together and SIT DOWN to eat. That almost never happens!
More importantly, after dinner came the CAKE AND ICE CREAM! Yum! My mom made my dad's cake. His favorite kind of cake is chocolate with chocolate icing. I was so proud of my mom for making dinner and the cake. She has Parkinson's disease and Dystonia, so that was a lot for her to accomplish in one day. How special for my dad! :) There are wonderful parents. So anyway, I love a good store-bought birthday cake, but there is just something about a homemade birthday cake. Yuuummmm! He ended up with some wireless headphones for the TV and an FM transmitter/charger for his iPod so he can use it in his truck. Happy Birthday Dad!!
Happy Birthday Mr. Cate! Hope it was a wonderful day!!!
