31 years and counting...

Since Uncle Steve's birthday was December 27, and we were out of town, we celebrated yesterday! Nana, Papa, Aunt Jackie and Uncle Steve all came over! We pretty much just hung out. We did play Match Mate again, that Newlywed-esque game. This time Dan and I did terribly! We weren't matching anything!!!

Nana and Papa had already given Steve his gift and ours, a fab new universal remote control, hadn't come in yet, so poor Uncle Steve only had a card to open up...it did have 31 cents in it though, to celebrate his 31 years!
We had a delish meal and ended with a great Peggy Brown cake. We weren't exactly sure what to get on it though. Papa and I talked it over and we decided to go with Steve's nickname, "suck-up" dubbed early in Jackie and Steve's dating days b/c he would come over to our houses and cook wonderful meals and do tons of odd jobs. After they were married though, we joked that "suck-up" had gone by the wayside. We are honestly just kidding though, as yesterday he traveled through our house and measured every window for our new blinds! He even went back and rechecked them! Thanks, Uncle Steve! I couldn't have picked a better brother-in-law! We love ya!
And here is just a fun picture of what our little Luke did to Papa yesterday. Luke has an absolute love for penguins. Neither Jack, nor Nick, really were attached to anything when they were little! Luke certainly has atached himself to his penguins! He decided to give Papa a few of his loved animals and I just had to snap a picture!
Now I'm off to get some coupons clipped (I have slacked on that this past year and write some reports for work...ugh, back to the daily grind!) Enjoy your day, all!

What a slacker I am. I didn't even leave a post for my own birthday party. The party was great. My favorite was playing that match game. We could not make it one round without someone getting made fun of or everyone laughing at an answer. It was great. The remote that amy and dan got me was really an over the top gift. I've wanted one since I saw Dan's but I was never going to ask for one. It is awesome.
