We had a theme for Tige's birthday this year, it was an IRONMAN birthday. I was really excited about his presents, and couldn't wait to give them to him. They had been burning holes in my hiding places for more than a month.
He got some Ironman cologne. There really is such a thing. My mom told me about it after his race in May, and I knew he had to have some, no matter how it smells. After all, he IS an Ironman.
I made him a hard-bound keepsake book of his race. I bought the packet of professional pictures, so it has some really great pictures in it, as well as Tige's own words about the race.
And the big one was this frame with 3 of the professional pictures, his bib, his medal, and an engraved plaque at the bottom. He was surprised and loved it. It's hanging in our bedroom and looks great. It was very well wrapped in bubble wrap, and the kids had a hey-day popping it all (while Toffee doggie quaked in fear).
My parents came to town Saturday evening and we went out to dinner with them. After trying 6 babysitters, we ended up having to take the kids to dinner with us. We had a nice time and then came home and got in a quick game of Euchre before hot fudge cake & waffle cone crunch ice cream. Yum! Happy Birthday Tige! We sure love you.
