The day before Merril's birthday, Maxine and the kids wanted to plan a special surprise. I was not privy to their plans except that I was to get Daddy out of the house for 2 hours so they could prepare. So Merril and I went birthday shopping. Merril's preparing to run the IRONMAN (I know, right??!!) and needed a new bicycle helmet. So we bought that and a few other things and headed back to the house for the surprise!
We were greeted by a completely cleaned house and the restaurant staff of Jamie's Cafe, complete with matching uniforms.
They ushered us downstairs, where there was a candlelit table waiting for us.
They immediately brought garlic bread and followed with salad.
We were served spaghetti after the salad course and loved our little dinner. Mikayla and Mark were starving so they ended up eating downstairs with us. They were all adorable as they brought down drinks and took our order. It was delicious and they did a great job!
The next day I planned a big BBQ birthday bash at a park and invited all Merril's friends and their families. We had it at Nisson park and it was a nice night. I totally didn't take a single picture. C'est la vie. Happy 38th birthday Merril! I love you more than I ever thought I could. You are so generous to me and everyone around you. Loves-J
