Jared Is Over The Hill and On His Way Down...

So, Jared recently celebrated his 31st birthday!! When he got that old, I don't know, but it has happened. This year we celebrated with a very low key family party....and a special trip, which I will detail in another forthcoming post.

The kids did a really good job of helping me pick out his presents, he loved all of them, and an even better job putting the tape on the packages. Because the kids aren't quite skilled at wrapping yet, and we all know how Jared feels about gift wrapping and bows and gift tags, putting the tape on definitely seemed like a task they could handle.
Nate was really funny because he got Jared a memory card for the XBOX 360 which he (Nate) really wanted, and he just couldn't fathom how any other gift Jared could have gotten would have been better than that. So he kept asking Jared what his favorite present was, and wasn't it the memory card, ect. all night long. Jared couldn't bear to tell him that he didn't really want it. What a self-less Dad.

One of the big presents that I got Jared was a new suit. He hasn't had a black one since his mission because the only suit he had on his mission was black and he just couldn't bring himself to get one that was black. So since it's been over 10 years, I thought it was time. I got a SMOKIN' deal on it too, and doesn't he look handsome (even if he isn't wearing the whole suit)?
Since Kimmy had to go to bed before we opened presents (probably because she was throwing a temper tantrum, which she has become an expert at lately), I thought I would throw in a picture of her on this post for good measure. She is wearing Spongebob Squarepants disguise glasses which she loves to wear. I like them because when she is wearing them, she is not trying to wear mine!
