The Big 2-9

My wonderful husband turned 29 on October 27! We were spoiled because he had 2 days off he needed to use so he took his birthday and Megan's birthday off last week. As an early birthday present for Dan, we left Megan at my parents' house overnight a few Fridays ago. We loved being able to stay up late to watch Letterman and Leno and we especially loved sleeping in. Megan did great for her first sleepover--thanks Mom!

On Dan's birthday, we headed out to Brenham, TX--home of Blue Bell Ice Cream! We toured the factory and got to sample different flavors at the end. We all loved it--especially Megan since it was the first time we'd let her have ice cream. I picked white chocolate almond, Dan got caramel turtle fudge, and Megan got Snickerdoodle. All of them were delicious! We had lunch at a little diner there before heading back to Houston.

We had a family party for FHE that night at my parents' house. Dan's bday is the 27th, our nephew Zach's is the 28th, and Megan's is the 31st. We carved pumpkins, played pin the nose on the pumpkin, and had pumpkin squares (Dan's choice) and (of course) Blue Bell ice cream.

I'm pretty sure Dan enjoyed his birthday. He really is the best husband in the world and is a great dad too. I love you Dan!
