decorations and gifts. Maggie was so excited all day and decorated herself. She put up streamers, balloons, and set out every picture of Joe she could find. It was so cute, she tried to put a piece of tape over me in a picture of the two of us. I asked her why adn she said becasue it was his birthday so all the pictures should just be of him. When he got home the kids made him close his eyes until he walked into the kitchen.
Then it was time to tear into cookies. I had wanted to have him a surprise party but with work and our schedules there just wasn't a good time to do it.
After dinner and cookies we headed to the kids last soccer game. Maggie had become quite the soccer player, last week she had 3 goals (which thriled Joe). Owen informed us the other night he wants to play football. He saw peewee leagues playing and was in awe that they were running, hitting, and tackling and no one got in trouble.
Owen loves to put Joe (and my:) shoes on and walk around the house.
Here he is today showing off his picture he got in the mail from my friend Val's little boy Lucas. He was so excited to get it and has carried it around all afternoon. We are at odds about what it is though Val so even the score for us. I say it's a house..he says it is a rocket. :)

I had a surprise 30th for Jeff..12 long years ago and he still hasn't gotten over it...I think he will be jealous to see how Joe got to spend his 30th....Happy belated B-day Joe...it just seems like yesterday you were phoning about a job in Danville..
haha ... i'm home early, so i'll have to ask lucas what it is when i pick him up. i think it was a house. i sorta threw it in an envelope quickly though without inspecting it :) lucas was determined to send him a "letter" though because owen was sooo upset that day and lucas felt sorry for him. haha ... i'm glad he enjoyed it :)
Lucas says that is a picture of our house (which is not red!!) hah! And, he said if it was a rocket it would have had a different top to it. Now he thinks we should call Owen to talk about this ... goodness gracious!!
Happy Birthday Joe!!
As for the christmas child box, I took the cars, recorder, and magna doodle out of their packages. The recorder made one of the corners protrude and the only way the lid would stay on was to put two rubber bands around it!
