Well, as you know, yesterday was my birthday, and it was fantastic. My wife and kids did a great job of celebrating me (but not too much, cause that just gets a little weird for me) and I told the boys at the end of the day that I felt special (thanks to them).

The festivities were not just relegated to one day, either.

Really it started over Thanksgiving with my parents. There were some nice gifts from Mom, and they also gave me a little spending money, which we used for 1) Ice Cream @ Young’s Dairy, 2) Schuler’s Donuts, 3) dinner at Skyline Chili, 4) dinner @ Red Robin, 5) some groceries for the big home-made Skyline dinner with friends last night!

My Grandma got me some chocolates… mmmmmm. Yesterday, Jen gave me some of my favorite tea. And a frying pan. 🙂 And then, our friend Leah baked me a home-made chocolate birthday cake. The LaBarges brought ice cream. The Velasquezes also brought some packets of super cool hot chocolate (you know, the ones with other flavors and stuff?). Our friend Laura brought some chocolate bars…

I guess I like food? 🙂

We had 4 adults and 6 kids over to add to our 2 adults and 4 kids. It was a fun night of Skyline Chili, home made bread, birthday cake and ice cream… and fun with good friends.

Then, when all that was over… I got to do a guest spot on the San Diego Chargers podcast at 11:45 last night. (I put that part up on our website…)

Quite a full, fun birthday. Thanks to everyone who made it fun!

Now… it’s time for some chocolate… 🙂
