The Big 26

Dave celebrated his big 26 this year! He was suppose to work on his birthday but got put on call. What a nice present! I made him one of his favorite dinners topped off with some pina colada. He blew out a cupcake and opened presents.
*Notice the happy smiles...he has learned to stop putting up a fight:)
Everyone chipped in to get Dave a hiking backpack.
The Bigger part of the present was me spending two days in REI picking one out...and leaving empty handed just to get one online:)
The REAL party happened later that week when much to Dave's dismay I threw him a party(which he secretly really liked). There was a great turnout with a lot of yummy food and some great memories.
The invitations 
I labored over a birthday table runner with the help of Jessica.
The feast with all of Dave's favorites.
I made a birthday banner that was such a pain to make! Our living room looked like scrapbook tornado, but it was worth it in the end:)
This will be up for the entire month of August or until Dave really learns to like it.
Here is the "Come on Dave blow out your cake" picture.

Happy Birthday Dave!
