The kids were in the mountains with PaPa Truelove on Eric's actual birthday, so he got to celebrate twice this year. For Eric's 1st party, he was SO exhausted from the long hours he's been pulling lately, that I ordered take-out from Outback for him to pick up on the way home from work so we could enjoy a nice evening without heading OUT. It was great! But, Eric was SO exhausted he could barely keep his eyes open to open his presents. That's a true sign of aging! But, a few days later, he was able to catch up on some sleep & celebrate again with the kids... they didn't let him sleep through this party. We sure were glad to have them back home!
