Monday was Derek’s 35th birthday! We met when he was just 22 years old… wow how time flies! For the most part, he had to work on his birthday (sucks when it’s on a Monday) but we tried to make his evening fun. My parents took him to dinner with a few of our friends and Addison did pretty good for the most part with having to behave in a restaurant for an hour and a half (only a couple of meltdowns). She kept going up to him and singing Happy Birthday and on the ride home she must have said “Happy Birthday Daddy” a million times. Of course when I asked her how old he was, she would say “2”. I knew that when we had kids, it would no longer be about us and isn’t that the truth when it comes to birthdays. Addison was opening the gifts for him before he even had a chance to pick it up and she got to help blow out his candles on the yummy DQ Blizzard cake. She was pretty proud of herself and I’m pretty sure she will be ready to handle her presents this year on her own for Christmas! Happy Birthday Derek!
