While he was gone we baked cupcakes and decorated - the kids would never forgive a lackluster birthday party. It has to be cake! Balloons! Streamers! Theme! Confetti! Party hats! So when he walked in the door he found us all in superhero costumes - we made him put one on too. We enjoyed a steak dinner and cupcakes, and he opened his super-hero-themed presents from the kids. We have a tradition that he gets to pick out his own birthday present from me, and so a few days later he came home with a new amplifier that has since provided many rockin' hours of entertainment. You'll always be our Super Hero, honey!
