Jeremy's 31st Birthday!

Jeremy isn't too fond of birthdays, to say the least. He doesn't like to be the center of attention and doesn't like to make his birthday a big deal. I'm always trying to get him excited about it but he could care less. Hence, I dubbed him the 'birthday scrooge.' I grew up with the sentiment that birthdays are supposed to be a big, exciting, and special day. And it's quite the feat to make someone's day exciting and special when they aren't enthusiastic about it. However, I think it's safe to say Jeremy had a pretty good birthday...
..
This morning he got a special birthday breakfast, complete with a happy birthday song! He even got to blow out candles! Isn't he lucky?
It sure looks like he's having a good time, doesn't it?
("Are we done yet?" Nope. Not even close.)
...
Unfortunately, he had to work today, so we planned on going out to lunch. Much to his dismay surprise, I showed up with balloons and (his favorite) red velvet cupcakes to share with his coworkers.
He wasn't too thrilled about the balloons but didn't object to the cupcakes. :)

For his birthday lunch, he got to choose anywhere he wanted to go. Much to my dismay surprise, he chose Sushi.

Pretty to look at.
Not so pretty to eat. But we sure had fun! After lunch, it was back to work for Jeremy.

After he got home from work, he opened the birthday package from mama Kay (my mom). As always, she went above and beyond and got Jeremy some great stuff. A golf shirt, a tie, two bags of Jeremy's favorite candy (Reese's), and lots more. (Thanks Mom!) (Unfortunately, I couldn't get him any presents because he had already bought them for himself last month.)

After opening presents, Jeremy chose to do one of his favorite things - look at houses! Then, for his big birthday dinner he chose none other than Domino's pizza.After dinner it was time for cake! I sang Happy Birthday and he blew out the candles, for the second time today! Now we're finishing the night off with some Olympic games.

I hope you had a great day honey! I love you!

what a great birthday party you had Jeremy. Mikelle you are very creative when it comes to parties. Did you notice your wrapping paper was Olympic printed. I will see you in a couple of weeks I am so excited. Mikelle you did a great job on the 30 reasons you love Jeremy but you had alot of material to work with.
All my love,
Momma Kay xoxoxoxoxo
