John's Happy Day

 I always feel so out of control when it comes to John's birthday.  It is just 2 days after Brilynn's and I feel like Brilynn's party always sucks me dry of energy and John's birthday doesn't really get planned.  This year the girls all made cards for John while he was at work.  They were so excited for him to open their cards.  I'm pretty sure the cards were the most exciting thing for him.  For those of you who know John, he never shows a big reaction to gifts.  He is thankful but doesn't show a lot of excitement.  This is something that I now understand and realize he does like the gifts even though he doesn't show a lot of excitement. 

 Grandma and Grandpa West gave Brilynn her present on John's birthday as well since they weren't here for her's.  She was thrilled with her new attire and can't wait to sport it this fall.

After John opened his gifts we all went to eat with his family at his choice of restaurant, Cracker Barrell.  Happy Birthday to an amazing husband and dad.  We love you so much and appreciate all you do for us.  Happy Birthday babe!!!
