Happy Birthday Charlie - The Big 35!

Mr. Neilson turned 35 this year!  Unfortunately his actual birthday was quite a bummer.  He stayed home pretty much the entire week because our kiddos were all sick.  What a trooper though, four days, three sick kids!  That's a keeper if you ask me.

The night of his actual birthday he headed to get a haircut after I got home from work.  Me and the kids decided daddy deserved a little something special so we went and got him balloons, cupcakes and his favorite Italian meal (pesto) from Don Antonio's.  We had a nice little birthday celebration to try to turn his otherwise bummer birthday into something nice.

The following weekend Charlie's parents came to visit as they do every year for his birthday, it has become a nice tradition for him.  They treated us to a delicious dinner at Joe's Stone Crab and we treated them to their long overdue birthday presents, tickets to the Elvis Show at Aria.  What a great night.  Dinner was delicious, especially the Key-Lime Martini (BEST DRINK EVER!!!) and the show was very enjoyable.

The rest of the weekend we spent relaxing and on Sunday we had a big BBQ dinner to really celebrate Charlie's Birthday. 
We topped the night off with cheesecake from the Cheesecake factory and eventually called it a night.
Here is to another great year my love...you are a wonderful man, a fantastic father and truly my best friend.  I count my blessings for everyday I have you by my side!  Happy Birthday!
