Happy Birthday Aaron!

Happy belated Birthday to my sweet hubby (the day before Halloween)! I am so blessed to have him in my life! He's the best! I really could not ask for a better husband or father to my kiddos. So to keep up with the tradition (wow, he's getting up there in numbers! Maybe we should retire soon. j/k):

32 Things I love about Aaron:

1. He still makes me laugh every single time he says "ALL RIGHT!"

2. He kisses me goodbye every morning.

3. He loves his little girls and treats them like gold.

4. He can do anything himself! He has done so much to our house and is always amazing me with the things he does.

5. He gets so excited about football!

6. He works so hard to support our family.

7. He never shows fear and is such a great leader of our family in this way.

8. He forgives so easily.

9. He stays up late with me watching shows or movies together.

10. He plays Boggle and cards with me.

11. He finally drinks with me! (Diet Dr. Pepper of course)

12. He is always so supportive of what I want to do.

13. He thinks I'm beautiful even when we both know I'm not lookin my finest :).

14. He never points out flaws.

15. He is confident with who he is, yet so humble too.

16. He surprises me occasionally with flowers and sweet notes.

17. He NEVER asks me how much I spent or what I bought when I go shopping. (I'm so lucky)

18. He humors me and lets me show him all the great bargains I've found.

19. He always finishes whatever he puts his mind to and does it the best that he can. You can always expect the very best from him.

20. He opens my door every time we go on a date and wears a little more cologne than usual just for me. (I wish I could demonstrate the way he applies it usually :). He taps it barely and waits for a sec before he walks into it. It's quite funny. I used to push him into it right after he'd spray it and he would say, "That's too much! Now I'm going to be "that guy" in the room".)

21. He sets goals and always finishes them no matter what.

22. He helps me clean and cook.

23. He never leaves the seat up! (I can only remember one time he did, which of course happened to be when I was pregnant and had to go potty in the middle of the night but instead fell in!)

24. He is very easy-going.

25. He takes Hallie on dates to Home Depot's kid workshop events and the Sports stores to look at the animals.

26. He is always thinking about how to make things easier/better for me, the kids and others.

27. He is so willing to do anything for me. Even if it's midnight, without me even asking, he will be in the car and halfway down the street before I even realize, to go get me some almond for cooking, a treat, etc.

28. He is very thoughtful in the gifts he gives me.

29. He imitates Kevin from The Office with me and thinks it's just as funny as I do.

30. He offers me ice cream (and meat too) every time he gets some even though he knows the answer will be no... "just in case".

31. He always says, "This is the best meal I've ever had." or "You really outdid your self this time" every time I cook, even if it was just a darn quasadilla!

32. He makes life SO FUN and SO GREAT!!!

The day started off with the fav singing and dancing of "They Say It's Your Birthday" by yours truely, and a breakfast of his choice (girls were still sleeping. It was 5:00 in the morning). As luck would have it, he got off early from work, so we were able to go out to dinner before the trunk or treat party. We had a yummy dinner at Texas Roadhouse, however I was a little disappointed that he would NOT let me inform them it was his birthday so he could sit on the saddle! ha ha.

I think Hallie was more excited than Aaron that it was his birthday. She kept saying, "Daddy! Guess What! It's your birthday!" or "Where is that little birthday boy?" She had a blast making his cake, and the sweet daddy that Aaron is, let Hallie go to town. Which would explain why almost an entire container of sprinkles was on the cake :). She had seen this hat at the store that she insisted we get for the birthday boy. But decided that we all needed some too (even if they are Winnie the Pooh and say 1st birthday! ha ha).

Happy Birthday Aaron! We love you and are so glad you were born!
