Greg's Birthday

Greg turned 36 on last Friday, Jan. 23. He had 3 days of celebrations for his birthday. On Friday for lunch Grace and I met him at Pizza Inn. For dinner, Greg's parents babysat Grace and he and I went to see a movie (Bride Wars) and went to eat afterwards at Basil's. Then, he opened some presents and we had yummy lemon cake with buttercream icing. He loved having some help opening gifts and blowing out the candles!








Grace gave Daddy pajamas so he could wear something new to snuggle with her when she awakes at 4 am!!!
Since everything goes into Grace's mouth...this present was no exception. When I wrapped it, she went right over and placed it in her mouth. It was so sweet that I couldn't re-wrap it, despite the hole she made!

On Saturday we went to Jamesville for lunch. We had pizza to celebrate Greg's birthday and to exchange presents with Greg's dad. Greg's cake was a delicious lemon torte cake decorated in yellow and white. Greg's dad's first "Happy Birthday Grandpa" card!

The birthday celebrations continued on Sunday. We went to Fuquay to visit my parents and Greg got more presents and another cake. We enjoyed eating the white cake with the frosting. It reminded us of a giant party square!
