Happy Birthday Husband!

By

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… Halloween is over, and Christmas preparations are in full swing!

(Not really, but I love eliciting upward eye rolls.)

And… it’s my husband’s birthday! For those of y’all counting, he’s officially waaay closer to 40 than 30, you know. Yup, I’m married to an old man.

I recently realized that I spend a lot of time gushing about how wonderful my boys are, but I rarely pay tribute to my husband. He’s just about the most affectionate person I’ve ever met (which is actually kind of stressful, being that I’m a non-PDA-please-don’t-touch-me-before-washing-your-hands kind of person), is smart, kind and funny, and he actually works two jobs – his day job, and his daycare job, taking care of the kids early morning and late night as I blog.

Here are some pictures of the man I love on our recent Royal Caribbean cruise (yes, Ryder IS a carbon copy of him):

Of course, those photos don’t really show off his true self. For that, you’ll have to watch the video below. (Disclaimer – and he would KILL me if I didn’t add this disclaimer – it’s actually a Halloween costume. Doesn’t he have the best “geek” voice ever?)

      Um… it wasn’t that hard. It was actually his idea – taken in one take. Of course, I don’t think he asked me to record it with the intention of putting it on my blog – that was all my idea :)

    What a sweet tribute to your husband! He sounds like a wonderful guy — you sure know how to pick them, Lena! :)

    The video is very funny. I hope your hubby had a great birthday. The pictures are also great. Looks like you all had a fabulous time. I think I will consider a cruise for the next family vacation.
