Dan's birthday was last Monday. He's the big 2-9! I told him he's got to live it up since it's his last year in the 20s. He suggested that we go streaking on the lawn at UVA. (Click that link if you dare.) J/K. Well, there is a cartoon of a naked man, but you can't see anything.

Dan asked for an iPod Shuffle. He got it. He loves it. He also got a drawing from Sam, a card from me, one from my parents, some books, and a lot of cupcakes. I love Dan. He's the best.

We didn't tell him to put his hands up.

This picture is unrelated. I just thought it was cute.

Friday I decided to be a good mom and take my kids to the zoo in the afternoon. Once I got there, I realized I forgot the stroller for Afton. So I carried her around for 90 minutes. And she barfed on me twice. After the zoo, we picked up Dan from work, grabbed some dinner, and then drove around a fancy area downtown to look at their Christmas lights. There are tons of old live oak trees that they wrap up. I love it! These pictures don't do it justice, but here ya go.

This one reminded us of Dr. Seuss.

Saturday was our ward party. It was really nice, but once Santa came out, Sam was ready to book it out of there. We told him that Santa was coming and he kept saying, "All done see Santa. All done see Santa!" And then when he finally appeared, Sam said, "Ready to go now! Ready to go now!" So I guess his visit with the big man last week was about all he could handle.
