Happy birthday Neal!

Neal turned the big 2-8 this year! Can you believe it!? We are now in our late twenties. Still young and hip though.

I felt so guilty I was going to be in the hospital on his actual birthday that I decided to just spread his birthday celebrations out the entire week before.

First up was Guys Night at the house complete with poporn, treats, and cupcakes. Much to my dismay, Neal didn't take ANY pictures with his friends that night.... so all I have to document it with his picture of the food.

Mine and Liam's contribution to the chalkboard wall to wish Neal a happy birthday :)

For part of his birthday present I got him cooking lessons! He had always talked about wanting to go do them but we just never set it up. I found an awesome place that does it through Orsen and Gygi. He went in on a Saturday morning and learned how to cook AMAZING vegetables and roast chicken. This was my favorite present I got him because now he cooks the different foods all the time and I'm a little obsessed.

Saturday night we went to the Grizzlies game to celebrate his love of hockey. This game was actually more fun than the Flyers game because they were allowed to fight haha I love how intense hockey is and how tough the guys are. I'm pretty proud to say I married one of them :)

For family dinner on Sunday Neal requested a famous Mrs. Backers cake. They asked if it was for a male or female. I responded male. They informed me they'll use the more masculine colors to decorate the cake.

Pretty masculine cake right?

Happy Birthday babe! I loved getting to celebrate you and this special day. You are simply the best :)
