My side of the family came yesterday to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. And my birthday. And other family May birthdays. 🙂 All my sibs were here with bits and pieces of their families. With so many family members (and some living across the ocean) it is hard to get everyone here at the same time. Here’s a pic of me and my dad taken two years ago when he turned 75. I love you, Dad!
Today is my birthday. 🙂 So the first item on the menu is my birthday dinner. I chose fried chicken (carry out so I don’t have to cook it), though my preferred meal would be BBQ grilled chicken. But Mondays are usually DH’s busiest day in the office and he won’t be home before 6:30 for sure. Probably closer to 7:00. So grilling is out of the question. So fried chicken it is. DD#2 wants to make biscuits and DD#3 wants mashed potatoes. I’m going to take the opportunity to teach her how to make them herself. The rest of the week is up for grabs…if the family wants something special, it will go on the menu. DD#1 has already requested tacos. I’m taking suggestions as I type. 🙂

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day and a joyous celebration. We have a lot of May birthdays in my family too – my nephew’s was the 20th, his sister’s is tomorrow, and their mom’s (my sis) is the 27th. Good month!
Meant to also tell you that’s a great photo. What a handsome dad you have.
Hope you have a Happy Birthday today and many more 😉
