On November 7th Jim turned the big 40. I had planned on having a really fun open house party for him up until we sold our house. I was kind of bummed. He was glad. He is a typical man that never wants a party just a night at home. Then he informed us that he would be gone working that night. He said he would rather be making money than feeling sorry for himself that he was so old. Well late afternoon he called and said that he would make it home around 7:00 or so that I could make his favorite chicken. When the kids got home from school we quickly wrapped his presents made him a cake and wrote him a letter explaining that he should be proud of all of his accomplishments over the 40 years of his life and we gave him 40 reasons of why we love him and are glad he is in our lives. We then turned out all the lights and shot poppers at him when he came in.
His homemade cake from scratch.
His best 4 accomplishments yet!
He always tries to guess the present first before he opens them.
New turf shoes!
This one was from Brylee we had been waiting for Makoy to make a poopie diaper so we could do this. It smelled so bad after being wrapped up all tight in a box. He laughed.
This was his cow pie clock that said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU OLD POOP!'
He wasn't sure if he wanted to touch it. Everything turned out better than I thought it would and he was glad about the low key party.
