happy birthday Papa...


We all know (knew) that this wonderful January thaw (which has lasted almost a whole week)  wouldn't stay forever... and this morning as I was doing barn chores, I could see the cold front moving it....
It was pretty... but ... you know what's coming, we're back to winter!!!!
Today is Papa's birthday!!! and I was invited to go to work with everyone, because Dave was taking Ed (and all of us to lunch).... Kass and Reagan came along as well... and Reagan made all sort of "happy birthday faces" at  his Papa!!!!!
We went to a local Chinese lunch buffet, and my goodness... was that good!!! I love Chinese food, especially when it's done "right".. and this was "right"... plus they had all kinds of good things to choose from!!!  What a treat......
After lunch, we all went back to the shop... Ed got cards an a few gifts from everyone....
Kass made the cake and told us that it contained a "secret"!!!!
And when Ed cut into it.... M&M's poured out!!! What a neat idea... 
So after a very yummy lunch, and dessert... some time to chat and then it was time to get back to work!!! After all... Dave can't give the whole day off....
Happy Birthday to my best friend!!! who happens to be my dear hubby!!!!
What was left of the cake came home, and Abbie got to come and see Papa too... (and have some of the cake).... She sang Happy Birthday to Papa... and it was so great to spend the time with her...

Birthday kiss....















And hug... and Ed and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful family!!!!  




and we know it!!!!
