Birthdays . . . the one day a year people celebrate you and allow you to indulge a bit. This year Dan and I went overboard for each others birthdays . . . mostly because we could. And let's be honest - it's nice when someone you love does that for you once in awhile.
Dan loves to hike. Dan also loves Oregon; what better gift than a hiking book for Oregon?!? (Hopefully the weather clears up soon and we can actually USE said book).
This one was no surprise at all - although he pretended it was. Dan has been itching for a Kindle for quite sometime, so instead of trying to figure out which bells and whistles he wanted, he ordered it, and I wrapped it. That is the smile of one happy, happy boy.
One of Dan's 'summer projects' was to clean his grill. And when I say clean, I mean - tear it apart, re-paint, sand etc., put it back together - type clean (which he just finished last weekend). In anticipation of said event, I bought him a lighter (every pyro's dream). . . .
. . . and grill cover. Probably his favorite gift though - was the Disney movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks - his favorite childhood movie. The only trouble was, once it was opened, we discovered there was no DVD inside. No kidding - Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. After multiple attempts at contacting the company (we purchased it online) we were finally refunded the money though and purchased a new one that arrived about two weeks ago.
This was an awfully cute post!! I love how you write about him and about his presents - such simple pleasures! Love it and love you!
