Happy Birthday Daddy and Uncle Andy!!

On my first date with Gavin, I learned he shared his birthday with my oldest brother Andy and my grandfather. I guess it was just meant to be . . . 

So Gav turned the big 33 last week, and Andy is 39. Wowzers. Since Aubrey was on Spring break, we all went to Madigan together to decorate Gavin's cubicle. Aubrey even painted a few pictures for him to add to his collection.

Through my pseudo-expert P.I. work the night before, I learned Gavin had 'noon conference' with all the residents. When he left a little before 6 a.m., I went to work baking a bazillion of his favorite cookies. We left the cookies in the conference room for all to enjoy. Gav isn't a big fan of public attention like that, but his wife is a big fan of showing how much I love him! He said he was only slightly embarrassed. Hee hee.

After going out to dinner with the kids, we came home for the usual--singing, presents, and strawberry cheesecake. (And crying for Jace--it's not his party, and he'll cry if he wants to.)

Every party needs a pooper . . . . 

For Andy's birthday, he got a belated surprise when his picture was printed in the Deseret News along with an article about the Special Needs Mutual and their annual production. He is such a happy Andy-bear. We all love him. (He's on the left laughing the hardest--no doubt at his own joke.)
