Scott's birthday is this Saturday, December 22nd. This is Scott's big 40th and we had talked about doing something really grand, like going back to Germany for the Christmas markets or to Banff for winter fun. This was all before the girls came and so with the changes in our lives, the plan had to change a bit too. So I added a little surprise for him the weekend before his birthday.
I invited some of our friends over for cake and ice cream without Scott knowing what was going on. Thank goodness for our ward choir. They were going out caroling that same night and I told him that they were stopping by all the leaders houses to sing.
Scott helped me organize the downstairs a bit and even made hot cider for the visitors. How perfect. I bought the cake the day before and hide it over at friends. They brought it over just as everyone was arriving. We added the 40 candles, light them, did a little birthday singing as the wax melted onto the cake and then Scott did the big blow-out.
And yes even with taking this big breath, he's now too old to blow out all his candles. Happy Birthday to my handsome, wonderful Scottman
P.S. And don't worry you bike fans, he's still trying to figure out the Alaska motorcycle trip.
