Happy Birthday Chip!!

Today is Chip's birthday!! I surprised him last night by throwing a mini party in the middle of the Cowboys game. We had some friends over to watch the game, so I decided to make a cake and turn it into a birthday bash at the last minute. Chip was so clueless -- he saw the cake with the candle, saw Kristi bring in a present and still didn't catch on until I piled all his gifts in front of him during halftime!! It was a nice evening, we grilled chicken and steak kabobs and ate dinner wile we watched the game. Thankfully the Cowboys won, so it didn't ruin his birthday!! :) It was great that my parents were in town and that Dave, Kristi and her daughter Taylor were able to come by. We missed Linda and Scott, but they were nice enough to pitch in on the gifts and Linda called during the festivities!! Thanks Linda!

Everyone hanging out. It took Lily the 1st half of the game to warm up to them, but then she was having a blast playing.
Helping Daddy open his presents.
He got the Wii (from Lily and I), Wii Fit (from my parents), Mario Kart w/ 2 wheels (from Linda and Scott), an extra Wii controller (from Dave & Kristi) and a weather alert radio!! My Mom didn't want it to be an all Wii birthday! :)
I made a Dallas Cowboys themed cake! :)

Lily eating cake. She is actually "hiding" from the camera. She'll close her eyes and figures if she can't see you, you can't see her!
Yum!
Since Dallas was playing Green Bay, we had to bring out the Cheesehead! Lily and Taylor had fun playing with it!
