Happy Birthday Popie!

Yesterday was the Popie's birthday and it was full of surprises and fun! To start things off- not only was it Dad's birthday, but it was Chinese new year too! Happy year of the ox!


For Dad's Birthday dinner we had stuffed peppers, chicken rice, green beans,and fruit! It was delicious! The peppers were the best part of the meal.


Next up was the cake! Now to be honest, a week ago we had bought a super fancy cake and did birthday cake a week ago. For yesterday's cake we had banana cream pie! The funny thing was Mom had bought a pie and when Hans came home from work he had also bought a pie! So we have a lot of pie in the house now!

Here's the fancy cake from last week!


Here's the one of the pies!


Next up were presents! These were very funny! The first card Dad opened only had a dollar in it. It had been Mom's idea as a gag gift. I think this was the gift Dad liked the most.


The biggest surprise, though, was the Nintendo DS. Dad always plays games on his phone, so we decided to give him a DS to play with! You should have seen confused look!

Happy Birthday John and may the joy last throughout the year. I Wish we could all be together for these special days. Dividing up the cake and ice cream should or could eliminate those extra calories. But no one is counting! Just enjoy and extend th Happy Birthday DAAAAY!

Love, Nana (I'm using Sylvia's computer right now)
