We decided to start celebrating Lance's birthday a day early. It was actually the kids' idea. Probably just a good way to talk us into s'mores. It worked.
We typically go all out for birthdays. Balloons, streamers, posters, special meals, presents, maybe dinner out, and anything else we can come up with. However, Maisy had a rough night the night before Lance's birthday. She was up every 1-2 hours crying and just restless in between. Neither of us got much sleep. So his birthday wasn't really a whole lot of fun for anyone. I attempted to make gluten free cinnamon roll muffins (which I've made before and are pretty tasty!), but I was short a couple of ingredients. I substituted a couple things, and they turned out terrible. The kids still thought they were great. Since I was the one who got up all night with Maisy, I took advantage of a couple hours of sleep that morning. So Lance got to celebrate his birthday with three kiddos all by himself. He does love his kids and wanted to spend his birthday with them, but probably not all alone for a couple hours. But that's why I love him so much. He's very selfless.
Our evening was much more fun celebrating with family. We headed over to his parents house for some pizza and cake and ice cream.
Happy 35th birthday, Dad!
