September Birthdays

It's already been noted that Sophie had a birthday in September.  But what we haven't documented yet is that Danny also has his birthday in September!  Unfortunately, this year I wasn't able to figure out a way to get him out of work or school early so we could truly celebrate.  He's got a real career now, so it's harder to play hookie.  ;)  Danny spent a large majority of his day at the BYU Career Fair, screening potential applicants for Edwards.  It's karma really.  The same Career Fair is what got us our job here. 

After working all day, Danny was hungry.  And it was his birthday.  And we were in Utah.  Here's some math for you:

Danny + Hunger + Birthday + Utah = TUCANOS!


We were so tired from our time in Utah that we could barely keep our eyes open (as you can tell!)  But it was nice to be out together for a couple of hours.  We kind of pretended that it was our anniversary celebration as well, since we spent our anniversary trying to get Johnny here.  Kind of lame for both a birthday and an anniversary celebration, but what do you do? We made up for it, though, with Danny's birthday present...


Yup!  Danny got an iPad for his birthday!  And money and iTunes gift cards to app it out.  He couldn't be happier!  And I have to admit, it's pretty fun!  So, maybe we'll call that our birthday/anniversary present.  That feels better!

Sophie also had quite the birthday when it came to the gifts...


And we love to have an excuse to have our entire family together.  We're so fortunate that we have both sides of the family in the same town...even if it makes for incredibly hectic visits and a couple of extra tanks of gas. :)


As with every typical American birthday celebration, cake followed gifts.  Danny is such a good Dad, and he let Sophie pick the cake for the both of them.


He even let her blow out the candle first...


And if you look really closely, we sneaked in an extra candle...just for Daddy.  Happy 28th Birthday, Danny!
