Lance turned 45 years
OLD! I can't believe it. Oh well... I guess it happens to the best of us (and he is the best of us for sure!). He took the whole "birthday week" idea quite literally this year. 20 years of being married to me has rubbed off. :)
Unfortunately, he was in training on his actual birthday, March 6th, so he couldn't take the day off, but we made the night very special for him.
We made homemade pizza and cherry pie. He opened his presents and was pretty surprised with at least one gift...a gift card to Bass Pro Shop to buy a rifle. Oh brother! I know he would love to have the lifestyle of a person who can go wild boar hunting, but he just doesn't. But, having said that, I am a firm believer that birthdays are made for getting whatever gifts you want no matter how silly they may seem to other people (wives included). So he wanted a rifle...he got a rifle. Plus a stunt kite, a gift card for his favorite burrito place, and a myzone monitor to make sure he burns all those burrito calories off!

Another highlight of the week was going to dinner and to play bocce at Campo di Bocce. We had a great time and look forward to going back again (even though we lost to our friends).

| Very tricky, those bocce balls. |

| We used the tape measure for this. They were exactly the same distance! |

But words can't express how much I love and appreciate my husband. He is my best friend, an amazing husband and the best dad my girls could hope for! He told us we spoiled him that last week, and I'm so glad because he deserves it!
