Happy Birthday, Carl!

Although Carl does not like to make a big fuss about his birthday, the boys LOVE celebrating birthdays and wanted to help Daddy have a great birthday. Once Carl left for work, the preparations for his "surprise party" began. We went out to buy supplies for making a cake, as well as picked out some special birthday balloons. When we returned home, the boys worked together to bake the cake. They did a great job and took turns adding ingredients, mixing, etc.

Later in the afternoon, the boys made some great party decorations and Evan decorated a great Star Wars cake.

When it was time for Carl to come home, Evan stood by the door and watched for Carl to pull in the driveway. Once he was spotted, Evan made sure we were all in the right hiding spots. When Carl walked in the door, we were able to jump out and surprise him!

We spent the night eating dinner, cake, and playing outside. It may not have been what Carl was expecting, but he had fun and the boys had a great time showing him how much they love him!

Evan and Preston did a super job making the birthday cake.

Making birthday decorations was fun and they turned out great!

Happy birthday, Carl! You are a great daddy, husband and friend! We love you!
