Happy 29th, Morgan!

Yesterday was Morgan's 29th birthday. Sadly he spend the bulk of his day at school. I thought that I'd do something a little different this year. Last year on his birthday I shared 28 fun facts about him on our blog. Go HERE to see the post. You'll learn a lot! Morgan's not a mushy guy - but I can sneak in gushy things here and there. When he woke up he was greeted with 29 post it notes around the apartment, each with a reason why I'm crazy in love with him. Some were pretty funny might I add. He quite enjoyed going from one to the next.  My sweet little sister also posted a nice Birthday post for him on her BLOG.... (PS, if you want a good laugh, follow her blog - she's living in China and puts up some great posts!)

Once he got home (to a CLEAN house) the celebrations started.

Lemon Cupcakes....

His FAVORITE meal.... Beans and Hotdogs. I was impressed when Morgan requested the Red Plate (the You are Special Today Plate). Whoo Hoo! He's becoming sentimental! ;-)

 The traditional Happy Birthday Pic. Notice - Andrew's not too happy he was still in his booster seat...

Conducting the one person choir singing Happy Birthday (while taking photos, talk about multitasking!)

Blow those candles out!

The cupcakes were GREAT! Andrew was pretty fond of them too (since he ended up eating TWO... I need to remember that he's tall enough to get things off the counter now...)

I gave Morgan a workout shirt and an AirJimmer shirt (which sadly is still coming in the mail) He's pretty excited to get it.


All in all, great birthday. Quiet, simple, at home - just the way this Maine Man likes them.


So, next year is the Big 3-0. I've got to think of something great to do for him. I'm suggesting that we write down '30 things to do before 30.' That would be fun, don't you think??

  2. You're a good wife. I went and read the 28 things. Also really cute. And ... Morgan used to be a little twig! :) And Andrew is his spitting image.

  4. I love your cupcakes shaped like a 2-9! I also love that Morgan asked for the "special" plate. Tradition built!

    Have you guys thought about taking a couples trip for the big 3-0? Surprise party?

  5. I love these pictures Emily! You are so creative and talented. I LOVE the picture of Andrew "not so happy" in the background! I am a sucker for the crying pictures. Hope y'all are doing well!
