Erik's 31st birthday was two weeks ago and there was no shortage of celebration. In fact, from beginning to end it lasted a total of four days! I wish my birthdays were like that (hint, hint). It all began on Thursday (March 10th, the day before his birthday) when I took his place at the office and sent him home early so he could be with his little Claire Bear and to enjoy the afternoon off. He works so hard for our family and sometimes just the little things like leaving work a few hours early are the most enjoyable.
The morning of his birthday we went to breakfast with my parents at Finn's Cafe. We had never been there before and it was absolutely delicious! That night we got a babysitter and went to one of Erik's favorite restaurants for dinner, Iggy's. Once we got home I gave Erik his birthday present, which was an executive bungee chair for the office at ISA. It was kind of a strange gift, but he told me he wanted it so I went with it.
Saturday I surprised him with a paintball party with some of his closest friends. Despite my being nervous, I sucked it up and played with the boys. It was a lot of fun! Erik had a blast shooting all of his friends and by the time it was over, he had a handful of war wounds to show for it.
The celebrations finally came to an end on Sunday when his Mom cooked one of his favorite dinners (chicken asparagus lasagna) and I surprised him (yet again) with an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen (another one of his faves) with all of our close family members joining in on the fun.
Whew! I know Erik enjoyed all of the celebrations and can't wait for his birthday to come around next year. :) J/K Thanks to all of our family and friends who celebrated with us. We both appreciate it!

Good job! What fun celebrations - wish we could have come to the paintballing, but as I realized later - I couldn't have done it anyway....I don't think!
He probably had more partying this year than any other year. It was fun to be part of the good eating. Hope the next 31 years and the next 31 years are just as fun.
Wow, all I get is a dinner, and sometimes not even that:)
I am just so surprised by his favorite dinner...chicken asparagus lasagna?? What?? I can't see Erik eating vegetables in any form! =)
Glad you had a great bday Er bear!
