Today is hubby's 40th birthday! He doesn't look a day over 21. (It's really not fair.) And on most days he doesn't act much over 12.
In light of recent unemployment events I didn't come up with much we could afford to do for his big day. As grown ups sometimes we have to be realistic. But it does make me sad that I couldn't give him the big celebration he deserves. He is a great dad and a wonderful husband. He goes to work everyday with no complaints so that I can stay home and be here for our girls. He DESERVES more. And I do have a dream celebration planned. Maybe I'll be able to pull it off another year. Who says you can't have a big party for your 43rd birthday? Right?!
We did have a small get together. Grandma came over and babysat while Hubby, SIL and her hubby and I went out to dinner and the movies. We saw The Dark Knight on the IMAX. Vertigo, who? Really the movie is fabulous, we'll be owning that one. Hubby got some new tennis shoes and clothes from them. His dad sent cold hard cash in a card. And I got us tickets to see Joel McHale in October. So he didn't have a bad birthday, just not a big bash.
Here's to my hubby, who will always be young at heart! Happy Birthday, I love ya!
very cute. you know what always makes men happy????
that is all mine ever wants, sure saves us some money. :)
I LOVE Joel Mchale. Too funny

Happy Birthday to him!
Big celebrations are overrated. The Man loves good food and cake and a little private time later on, ifyaknowwhatimean. ;)

My husband would have KILLED me if I gave him a big celebration. In fact, my oldest leaked that I was planning one and I got the big talking to about it. He's a bit on the shy side and doesn't like parties, let alone one's for him. He barely tolerated our wedding. Sounds like a perfect birthday celebration, really.

Very nice post. Happy 40!
If you do have the big 4.3. celebration that will lend itself well to a "surprise" party, because really, who would be expecting a 43rd celebration bash?
