Brad's Bday Wrap Up!

I am happy to report Brad's birthday was quite the success.  Or at least it was from my perspective! I know he enjoyed his party with the added bonus of 4th of July fireworks. Plus, I'm rather certain he liked all his gifts too.  As for the festivities on his birthday that I previously eluded to.....we revisited the Gaylord Texan where we got married for his birthday dinner. Woo-hoo!

Early in the morning on the day of his bday I left him a note while I went out with the dogs. The note gave detailed instructions as to the proper attire to where and the time to be ready by.  Once evening time rolled around and we were in the car heading out I simply guided him direction by direction, never telling him where we were going until we turned down the street of the Gaylord. We had a great time walking around the area where we said our "I do's".  We then went to dinner at the steakhouse inside the resort.  It was a great meal.  I had the filet mignon and Brad had a 16oz. Kansas City steak.  Yum!  His steak was huge but hey it was his bday and we were at an awesome place, so live it up!

After arriving home from dinner it was finally time to open gifts.  He had to go on a bit of a scavenger hunt with one gift as I had hidden some goodies inside the new tennis bag I got him. LOL! What did the pets get him?  A movie and a card that features a pug on the front! Piper was only slightly jealous of the fact that the card has a pug and not a cat on the front. LOL!

Here's a little story to close with.  It is my thing to display the birthday cards(or Christmas cards at Christmastime) for a few weeks after a bday.  So we currently have Brad's bday cards on display on a high shelf in our living room. Well today the card the pets "gave" their dad flew off the shelf in one swoop. Perhaps it is important to mention the card is a singing card. It starts loudly playing a song the second you open it. Piper sat nearby watching me as the card fell to the floor. It happened to land completely open which means it immediately started singing.  Upon hearing this music Piper was gone!  Gone like yesterday's news! She was breaking speed limits to get away from the singing card!  She totally freaked out! I found her later hiding in the closet.  At this point in her life I'm not sure which one is the bigger scaredy-cat....her or Cody!  She can at least use her young age as an excuse for being scared of things.  That doesn't work for Cody! LOL!
