Abe, Matthew and Dylan's Birthday!

So, my wonderful nephew and my awesome husband share a birthday--February 3rd. I know a thing or two about sharing birthdays and it's a pretty rare and cool thing to share one with a close family member. Our nephew Dylan follows the birthday with his own very close--February 6. Abe hit the big 2-9 this year, so I am sure he will be enjoying the last year of his twenties and Matthew turned 5 years old! Dylan turned 11 this year. Since Abe's actual birthday was a Thursday night, we celebrated by skipping Alex's sports class, and going out to the dinner of Abe's choice--Golden Corral. What..did you think Abe would choose anything other than a buffet??? After our delicious dinner, we drove over to Sears and Lowe's to look for sheds, since we are having a deck built onto our house as we speak. Then, we ventured back home and lit candles, sang to Daddy,ate cake, and presented him with his present--a Halo Lego set for him and Alex to put together and store in his curio cabinet of awesomeness located in his office downstairs. Of course, I had to spring for the music card, because not only did I know it would make my husband cry (he's a sensitive aquarius) but I also knew it would provide hours of endless entertainment for both children(and it has). Then, to celebrate Matthew's big day, we went to his birthday party at Ultimate Playzone. Everyone had a great time running around the facility,playing in the bouncy houses and eating lots and lots of food! After the UPZ, we retreated to the Dove residence to watch Matthew open his presents, eat some more food,and let the kids dance away their energy. Then on Sunday, we celebrated Dylan and Abe's birthday at Lola's house with leftover cake, presents, and a fun game of Apples to Apples. All in all, it was a really fun celebration of 3 really cool men and little men!
