Jesse's Birthday

Jesse's birthday was a wonderful day!

It began with a restful morning at home, and a huge birthday card from my kids as soon as he walked into work. Here's a picture of him with the early morning kids who worked on his card!



It says, of all hilarious things, "Happy Birthday, Mrs. Bethany's Husband!"
They all know full well who he is, but one of the girls coined the name a couple of weeks ago, and it's stuck ever since!

We were so excited that his birthday happened to be on a Thursday, because Thursdays are the only weeknight that he is actually home! We took it as a date night and watched GI Joe in at the theater (am I a good wife or what?!?) and went out to our favorite restaurant--Miyako Sushi!



One of the girls there offered to take our picture





Somebody's excited about his food :)






They even brought him ice cream and sang a Japanese "Happy Birthday!"



Kisses for the birthday boy!
