"Happy Birthday Daddy!"

Ben and Zach are understanding much better now how birthdays work but definitely not on keeping things to themselves! After they helped with picking out their Daddy's birthday card, they promptly told him when we got home that they had bought a monster birthday card for him. They were so excited for Darius' birthday on Sunday. They told him happy birthday dozens of times and that they loved him. It was so sweet.


Darius spent his birthday on Sunday doing things he loves. He was fortunate enough to make a great contact at the restaurant who got him a tee time on a very very nice golf course at the Waldorf Astoria. He and Michael enjoyed a round of golf there that afternoon. While they were playing golf, the boys and I put up some birthday decorations and picked up an ice cream cake for dessert.

After he got home from golf, we got ready and took a drive down to the Catfish Place in St. Cloud. Darius read they had the best catfish in the Orlando area, so he wanted to give it a try. Unfortunately we just happened to pick the night the staff there were having their holiday party, so at first we were turned away, but Darius did a little sweet talking and they agreed to serve us. It was a quick dinner but definitely good.

All Ben and Zach could talk about since picking up the ice cream cake, was eating the ice cream cake, so that's what they wanted to do immediately when we got home. They helped blow out the candles and loved it so much that we let them do it a second time.



I think Darius was little bummed about adding the extra digit to his age, but he agreed that he'd rather spend his birthday with the things he has now instead of 10 years ago with what he had then. Having young kids who just love the simple things associated with a birthday makes the aging process a little less painful!
