31 years and still kickin' it...

Alan's birthday week was so much fun this year...each morning Oak and I gave him a gift coupon for various things like mowing the yard, cleaning his car, a date night, etc. and a treat...and then his birthday came about and what a surprising day. Alan went off to school early, and Oak and I rushed around to make home-made cupcakes to take up to school as a surprise for Alan and his advisory group (basically a homeroom). At 10:00, as we were walking out the door, Alan called to say that school had been cancelled because the school had been broken in to the night before. So, Alan got to have breakfast, lunch, and 2 meetings with his fellow teachers, a day to catch up and relax, we still brought up the cupcakes and visited, and then we had a great family dinner at a Hibachi steakhouse that night. All in all, Alan said it was one of his best birthday weeks...
