Daddy's bday

Lucky for him, Thunder's birthday fell on a Saturday this year.  The kids took advantage of the school-free time and made plans to "kidnap" Thunder and "make" him go on a clue hunt to find his presents.

The little bandits woke him up and demanded that he get out of bed and follow the clues they made all by themselves.

After several clues upstairs, he was finally led downstairs...

... to a royal spot to open presents!  We've talked forever about getting a giant beanbag, and this was finally the year that one came our home.  It is moved, jumped on and slept on constantly every day and the kids love it.  Oh, and Thunder gets to occasionally use it,too.

The kids and I also found a fun gourmet popcorn shop down in Orem.  Thunder enjoyed sampling our finds.

We made a fun cake together in the shape of a basketball, since we went to a BYU game all together as a family.  I did have a big fancy cake made and served at our company party this year.

Cake and ice cream from Arctic Circle, just Dad's style!

Here we are before the game started.  It was a great game. Happy birthday Thunder, you deserve it!
