happy birthday dan

we have spent the past week celebrating dan's 40th birthday. i love a birthday, and despite dan's requests i have drug this out for close to a week. this week dan has been showered with gifts from friends and family....i stirred the pot here by asking friends and family to send dan 40 of something. we enjoyed seeing what people
came up with to send.


40 q-tips to help with hearing loss and wax build-up, 40 dry erase boards to hang around the house to help with memory loss, a jock strap with 40 bells (a joke between dan and his mother), 40 candles complete with a chocolate cheesecake, photo album of 40 pictures of friends and family wishing him a happy birthday, 4 packs of chicklets (his sister use to share chicklets with him on the bus......she got a pack for each decade), 40 golf tees, 40 viagra (seriously) and 40 hairs (again, seriously). he also got 2 sets of 40 texts on his birthday from friends and a secret message we had to figure out.

saturday he played golf with a group of guys. and that is the detail i have of that day. all in all we had a great time. 39 was a good year for dan with the birth of his son, a promotion at work, and another year of bliss with his lovely wife. happy birthday dan!
