Mal’s 38th Birthday

Image
Mal turned 38 yesterday, and we celebrated the birthday boy all day long! Quinn and I were up and at ’em planning Dada’s day of birthday surprises. It started with a scavenger hunt around the house to find his morning mug of iced coffee as well as birthday cards and presents. Quinn wanted to make pancakes for Dada, so we had a full-on pancake breakfast complete with bacon and butter! 🙂 I mention the butter because Quinn ate a huge spoonful, straight-up, right into his mouth and then asked us if we had ever eaten butter than way before. Haha! I mean, who hasn’t eaten a spoonful of butter?! After breakfast, we took Murphy for a walk around the neighborhood and then got ourselves ready for the day. When we returned home, Quinn and I made a batch of Funfetti cupcakes for Dada – his favorite! Mal has them every year for his birthday! After lunch, we sang “Happy Birthday” to Dada and celebrated with cupcakes! The weather was gray and chilly, so we spent most of the afternoon indoors
