Happy Belated 43rd Birthday to My Danny

Well, seriously. Talk about too busy to blog. Danny's birthday was April 29 and its now May 12 and I'm just getting around to blogging. Anyway, Michael came home for a long weekend just for his dad's birthday. It was nice to have him around and that Saturday Lauren came home for good too.

Danny had one request for his birthday: chili dogs. Yep, that's the sophisticated man I married :)  Chili dogs without beans to be exact. Well, he got that for his birthday dinner and I managed to find a tiramisu cake for him too (his favorite, but his one was so-so).

My gift to him was not terribly creative, but he has been wanting one for awhile: a panini maker. I know. Is this man just all over the map? Chili dogs and paninis. Got to love it!

It seemed Lauren scored with a surprise autograph from one of the star UNC basketball players Harrison Barnes in her birthday card to him. Hmmm..... did my daughter just use Danny's bday to meet this boy?

The weekend ended with Danny and Michael heading out with some friends to "go shootin'." Danny brought my dad's shot gun and the kick was so bad it left Danny with a nice purple and yellow bruise on his shoulder.

Happy belated birthday Danny --- you are my favorite!
