Rich went away to California/Nevada, with his parents and grandma, for five days a couple weeks ago to do something special....welcome his brother from Afghanistan! I think it was probably the most memorable birthday he'll have in a while...especially since his brother came home ON his birthday!
While he was away, the kids and I wanted to show him he were thinking of him...
...and make sure he didn't forget what we looked like ;-)
We're not used to Rich being away on his birthday, but we tried to make it special from our end too. So, besides texting him the last couple pictures, we had a Chocolate Eclair Cake, pizza, a banner and gifts waiting for him when he came home. The kids gifts were so cute! They made him games and activities for him to do with them. One was a treasure hunt and they had a blast spending some much missed time with Daddy :-)

It sounds like a perfect way to spend his birthday. I love when soldiers comes home :) Looks like you had an okay celebration without him.
Wow, what an amazing way to spend his birthday. It would have been even better if you'd all gotten to be there too, I'm sure! I love that you celebrated his birthday even though he wasn't there. :)
How'd the treasure hunt go??!! Sounds like SO much fun!
