HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEAL!!!

Neal turned a whopping 28 on Tuesday the 7th. Sadly he had to work all day, but he got biscuits and gravy for breakfast, lots of singing grams and calls throughout the day at work, dinner at a yummy mexican restaurant, and.......an IPOD touch!!!! I totally splurged and went out of my comfort zone for this one...but I knew it would make him the happiest man alive for 100 yrs...so I think it was worth it :) He was very very excited and couldn't stop smiling. The smiling he is doing in the pictures is completely genuine...he didn't have to fake his excitement! We finished the night off with german chocolate pie (upon his request) and the movie "Bedtime Stories". Happy Birthday lovies!

Look at that smile...pure joy
