Yesterday was Jake's birthday. He was able to have the day off from work, and I was only working a half day, so we were able to drive to Greencastle to spend the afternoon with the kids. I had a few surprises planned for Jake and the kids and our first stop was something the whole family loves to do...bowling!
The Birthday Boy...
Nathan had so much fun, he even got a strike!
Nathan had so much fun, he even got a strike! 
I love how Abby puts so much spunk into everything she does!
And Emma's game has improved so much since the last time we went bowling, she did great!
After bowling, we went to Pizza Hut for some dinner and presents. The kids brought along some very special gifts for Daddy that they each made...
Jake thought that this was the end of the celebration...but he was wrong! When we got back in the van, Abby discovered a present behind her seat. It was so big, she needed Emma's help to get it out. Hmmm, what could this be?
Jake, very confused, he unwrapped a set of grilling utensils, a grill brush and a grill cover. He is confused because we don't own a grill...well, at least we didn't own a grill. Can you tell by his face he is surprised? For those of you who know Jake, you know that it is almost impossible to surprise him. It can be extremely frustrating and I am not sure why I even try sometimes. But I am glad I did this time because it worked!
And here it is (well, it's in the box)! We all can't wait to enjoy some delicious food Jake will make us on this grill.
Happy 33rd Birthday Jake! We love you so much!

effort into everything she does,
