11/30/2003 Archived Entry: "birthday"

Today is Chris's birthday and I think he had a nice one. Unfortunately he's at work now, but we celebrated this morning. Tabitha and I decorated the dining room while he slept. We put up our Happy Birthday banner, Tabitha printed a sign, and I printed another banner that has King Triton and says "Happy Birthday to the King! We love you!" We set the table with the birthday cake hat and his presents. Tabitha gave him a Lord of the Rings puzzle book for the two of them to do together and I gave him "Pearl Jam Live at the Garden" DVD. We then went to Northwoods Inn for lunch as a surprise and his parents met us there. We had a great lunch. His mom and dad gave him "The Two Towers" super gift set and "Let It Be Naked" by the Beatles and $100. After lunch we went to his parents house and took care of some boxes for them. While there, Tabitha was given a new Little People Christmas set and also the Hanukkah set. I also scored some new decorations for the house including another Christmas tree. I had been thinking of getting a few more small trees to kind of scatter throughout the house. Now we have 2, I may or may not look for another one this year. We came home for Chris to relax awhile before heading to work. He has been working horrendous amounts of hours, but we found out today that he'll be off both Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve (they're close Christmas Day so that wasn't a concern). Finding that out certainly made the longer hours a little more worth it as we weren't sure he'd be off on Christmas Eve. He has one more surprise coming to him at work. Last night Tabitha and I made some of his favorite dishes for him to take for his dinner tonight. We made veggie "meat"loaf with tomato gravy and creamed corn. We also made white chocolate chip brownies as he loves white chocolate. I hope he enjoys them. He called a little while ago and said the guys at work got him a delicious cake, so that was sweet. I hope he makes it home before midnight so I can say Happy Birthday one last time. 'Course, this means only 6 more months before I turn 30 :/
