33 Reasons For 33 Years

Yesterday we celebrated my husband turning 33 years young.Our family has had a mini vacation since last Thursday evening, so we have enjoyed some much needed family time! On Friday, the girls spent the night with my parents so Boss and I were able to go on a date. On Saturday, Emma and Kate (with the help of my mom!) threw Boss a mini surprise party, and that night we had friends over for a dinner party and to play games. Yesterday we drove to Boss' parent;s house for a sleepover, and his mom spoiled him with all of his favorite foods. Boss, you are loved! Happy Birthday!
