John had a great birthday on Monday, or at least that's what he told me. I can't believe he's 29. I remember when he was 21. Dang! So, I put a card and a Reese's Pieces heart in his laptop bag, and then Hallie & I surprised him later by visiting him at work. We brought a present (framed money art for his office) balloons, and IBC root beer.
{Apparently the hostess at the restaurant neglected to hold down to focus}
Then we went out at night (thanks Steph) to Salt Grass Steakhouse. We both had steak & shrimp and other delectable sides. I had planned on going out to see a movie, but in the end, there wasn't anything we were dying to see in the theater (which was fine with me cuz I had a headache), so we watched Becoming Jane on our Netflix queue. Of course, we did presents, and ate a birthday brownie pie that I made. YUM!
Thanks to all the other gift-givers! He had a great time opening presents!
Oh, and I shan't forget the one present he bought for himself: ROCKBAND. I can tell he's really been enjoying it. He stayed up til the wee hours last weekend playing. It's interesting, he plays guitar (in real life) but the only part he has played with the game is the drums. He's pretty good too, from what I can tell--he's already on expert on several of the songs. Hmmm...I can hear the drumming now.
Fun to see your blog. You made that cake? Dang! That's impressive. Looks like a fun birthday. Funny...I can hear the xbox in the background as I type too. Oh the things we put up with!
ReplyDeleteYour cake is making me jealous. I'm attempting a chocolate-free birthday - very difficult for me. I laughed when I read that he got Rock Band. Dan got the Guitar Hero version of Rock Band for his birthday, and that was just the start of many many late nights :). He's more of a guitar guy though - he makes me do the drums for as long as I'm willing. It will be fun to see everybody's mad skills next time we gather.
ReplyDeleteI hate having other people take pictures for me. They tend to never turn out. The cake looks delicious. Happy birthday John!
