Happy Birthday Daddy -- part 1

Today was Chip's day off work, so we are celebrating his birthday today -- only a day early. Chip slept in and then ate some of his birthday coffee cake for breakfast (it is his favorite, so I always make it on his birthday and Christmas morning). Then we decided to drive up to McKinney to the downtown area. Lily and I have been there a few times, but since Chip is always so busy with work and school, he hasn't had a chance to get out and explore Texas like we have. We drove around some and then stopped downtown and ate at Rick's Chophouse. It was yummy. Even Lily yelled out "So yummy in my tummy!" I was a little nervous going in since it is a nice restaurant -- I mean they had a kids menu, but it was in a nice leather cover and didn't come with crayons, so I wasn't sure how Lily would behave throughout the whole meal. But she was perfect! I was so proud of her. It was a really nice lunch. After we ate we walked over to the candy store for a treat and then came home for nap time. Tonight we are going to dinner with my parents and then it is present and cake time!

She wanted to sit on Daddy's shoulders on the way to the candy store. Chip was happy, he loves that.

I took a zillion photos on the walk back to the car -- Lily was SO cute on Chip's shoulders with her lollipop!!!





It was a great morning and the perfect way to celebrate Chip's birthday.

Happy Birthday (week) to Chip! It looks like he had a great start to it today. Lily looks so happy and so grown up with her pretty pink toes, too. We love you guys!
