Bill’s big day

Bill has been dreading this day all year.  He knew it was coming and even though he is not old, he says he feels like it.  I guess having a college student, a 1st grader and a 3 year old can do that.  I told him 40 is the new 30, but he didn’t believe me.  We had a barbecue with some friends and enjoyed some really yummy Texas Sheet Cake.  Good choice, Bill. 🙂  Then it was on to the birthday presents.  Bill will usually tell me what he wants and I will go and get it. I always hate this because I should be more creative with his gifts.  So I try to surprise him.  Last year, he got a gift certificate for a glider flight at the local airport.  So I really thought long and hard about a gift this year. I came up with the best one and never once hinted at what he might get.  He was so surprised.

A gift certificate to go skydiving!
Jessica made him this awesome t-shirt
Bill's yummy cakes -- one plain and one with half almonds and half heath toffee bits. So good!

  1. I reach that mile stone next year, I can’t believe it.
    Great surprise, and love the t-shirt, but I hope Mike doesn’t surprise me with sky diving…I think I’d have a heart attack!

  2. if I know Bill (and I hope I do!!! ) 🙂 He will probably wear that shirt when he goes sky diving ;). It seems as if all my kids are passing me by!!! They keep getting older and I just stay the same :). I heard that 60 is the new 40. so tell him he isn’t old until he hits 90.
