Cory turned 32 this year (I am only like a month and a half late) and the kids were pretty excited about his birthday. They had some big plans and that morning, we could hear busy little footsteps above us preparing his big surprise.
Breakfast in bed! Made completely by Ellie and Brig. They drew some pictures for him as well and even served his food on a "platter." They were pretty excited about it all.
As per tradition, we had crazy cake (with a lot less frosting than usual...I'll do better with that next year though!) Cory's favorite present was probably the movie Iron Will- he was super excited to show it to the kids. We had a lazy day and watched that movie (Cory may get emotional any time he watches that movie in the wintertime) and followed it up with a few episodes of Little House on the Prairie. Cory's cousin Teresa offered to watch our kids so we could go on a date! What?!? It was really nice- we went to Roystone Hottub and then the Triangle for dinner.
