41 smooches for the love of my life

...but who's counting, anyway?

Happy Happy Birthday, Curt!...

He started his day out with a 7 am service project with the youth in our church

We got to spend a couple of hours in the temple...

We enjoyed the best lunch at a great little bistro...

a quiet lunch without six LOUD kids

Then on to a simple little celebration with the kiddos.

They each gave him a 'service coupon'... the best kid presents ever

And then we settled into our seats to enjoy a little Sherlock Holmes.

A quiet birthday full of service, love, warmth, & simplicity.

(the cake is a 'these are my favorite things' cake...

oreos, baby ruth, circus cookies, iced oatmeal cookies, & peanut m&m's.)

decorating courtesy of the kids.

Pretty easy to please.

I know what you wished for when you blew out the candles this year :)

or, did the kids get to it first?

A little Daddy-cuddlin'

no--he doesn't really have 7 chins-- it's just a really bad angle

Love you more...
