Dad is 40!

Tom turned 40 last week, and we had a great celebration at home.  He loves quesadillas, so that is what I made, and Reagan insisted on buying him his current beer of choice.

Tyler, Collin, and Reagan made the banner that is hanging above his head.  They each wrote and drew things that he loves, that he says, or things that they associate with Dad.

Dessert was a homemade chocolate chip cookie cake.

Here is our birthday song video:

Tom asked for this shirt, so that was an easy birthday present!  The gift wrap is so funny only because Tom is not big on celebrating birthdays for adults, and for as long as I can remember he has always said, "Hooray, you were born" or something similar when talking about adult birthday celebrations.  When I saw the paper, I knew he would love it.

Tom decided he wanted to celebrate this milestone birthday by running a marathon.  With a lot of help from family, Tom and I were able to sneak away to Burlington, Vermont for two nights.  He ran in the Vermont City Marathon while we were there.

Uncle Paul ran the marathon too.  They both did great!  Burlington was a very beautiful and super cool place.  I hope to go back soon.

Happy 40th Tom, I hope it's a wonderful year!
