you can never say it enough

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY OR JON OR UNCLE OR SON OR SON-IN-LAW OR BROTHER OR BROTHER IN-IN-LAW OR GRANDSON OR FRIEND!!!

It's something that Jon heard on and off throughout this last Friday!

It was a day which started with an early bombardment (while showering) of a "Happy Birthday" song by some amateur singers......breakfast made by his sister-in-law and then on to work where he was taken out to lunch and received a cookie cake and gift card (good work friends)!! And all in between and after and before phone calls where received for wishes of a great day!!

Then an evening with a simple homemade meal of yummy bread with dipping oil

baked spinach and tofu ziti (i MUST post this recipe at a later time as to not take away from this post but it's one that is made OFTEN)

2 girls who dressed in their FINEST dress up clothes and took over blowing out candles as to not cause their daddy to be out of breath!

and receiving some essentials of boxers and t-shirts from a practical wife

(fun stuff came from friends and other family)

and a day ended with a content guy who expects nothing fancy or dramatic or expensive for his birthday. and who said "that was one of the best birthdays i can remember having"

*proof that simple IS better*
