Happy Birthday Michael!

Michael turned 22 on January 19th. I love birthdays and we had so much fun! Since Monday the 18th was a holiday and he had the day off of school, I was lucky enough to get the day off too so we could celebrate all day that day. It was absolutely wonderful to just spend 1 whole day playing and having fun. I had a bunch of presents wrapped for Michael and he opened them throughout the day. It started with breakfast in bed and he opened his card. Then, he opened Monopoly (a game we both love and played a bunch before his mission), and we played! Then he opened some gloves he's really been wanting and we went out to lunch at Tucanos (a place he's really been wanting to try and it was delicious!) Then, he opened some new socks because his have holes, and we went to the bowling alley. Then, he opened sparkling cider and we had cupcakes and cider. We were busy, busy, busy all day and we seriously had so much fun! Everything turned out perfect. Michael does so much for me, and I wanted to make sure he had a special day.

Michael was happy about the gloves :) He was like a little kid, everytime I brought out another present, his face would light up "ANOTHER ONE?!"We played some sweet arcade games at the bowling alley and Michael won us some prizes. I seriously felt like I was in middle school becuase we were both super into it. haha.

So, all of these festivities went down the day before his birthday and I wanted to make sure his actual birthday was special too. So, we had a bunch of friends over for cake that night. It was really fun. Michael is so loved around here, there were about 20 people there. If you've seen our apartment and it's size, then you understand that 20 is really like 50. Here is a picture of Michael leading us in our Happy Birthday song. hahahah!

Anyway, we had a great time. Happy Birthday, Michael. You are without a doubt, THE BEST :)

Man, it looks like you about to set the apartment on fire, a lot of candles on a little cake. I'm glad it all turned out so fun, he deserves it that is for sure.
