The Birthday of Mr. P!!!!!

So, it was Andrew's birthday on Saturday. I had such a fun time secretively buying gifts and planning the activities of the day! And now I'm excited to blog about the entire thing!
To start the day off, I made him a delicious breakfast. It's a family tradition to eat waffles on a birthday - so we made some with whipped cream and strawberries, and buttermilk syrup.

Doesn't he look so excited!

Bacon, eggs, and waffles. YUM!!

After we ate breakfast, we opened gifts (Andrew couldn't wait any longer!!)

He got lots of history dvds - his mom gave him a series on the founding of America and the civil war, and my mom gave him a series on John Adams

He wanted a basketball so bad, so I caved and got him one. Doesn't he look so happy! :)

He had a basketball game that we went to, and after he played his little heart out, we went to Tucano's so we could EAT!

It was a blast! We went with my brother (it was his birthday a couple weeks ago), his wife, and my other brother (the one that designed the blog!) We ate SO much food, and I almost couldn't walk around. Luckily I have an incredible hubby who would have rolled me out to the car!
I finally bought an antenna so we can get local channels. Although we love spending time together, we get bored sometimes. So, we spent a little while trying to figure out how to actually get the local channels (apparently, the antenna wasn't pointed towards the transmittor - because it wasn't working very well). My brother and Andrew had fun looking for channels with sports on them...maybe I should have thought twice before buying the antenna!
We ended the night by going to Comedy Sportz, a local improv comedy club. My best friend is the manager, so she can get us in for free! It wasn't the funniest show I've ever been to, but we had a lot of fun, and there were some funny one-liners.
We had cake the next day, and someday I'll post pics and recipe (Salted Caramel Cake - can you say delicious?!)

Anyway - I hope Andrew had a good birthday - he deserves it. And as my last birthday gift to him, here's 10 reasons I ABSOLUTELY love Andrew Potter:

10. He takes the garbage out for me.
9. He bought me a super cute pair of red wedges.
8. He bought a baseball bat that he has beside our bed so I would feel safe at night
7. He loves history - kinda nerdy, but I think it's super cute!
6. He's incredibly handsome
5. He loves my cooking, and tells me so every time I cook
4. He's so patient with me, puts up with my stupid mistakes, and loves me in spite of them!
3. He's hilarious - he makes me laugh all the time
2. And, he thinks I'm funny too
1. He treats me like a queen

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Burnsy!!!
