Birthday!!!!

Today is Nathan's 29th birthday!  Unfortunately, he had to work today, but we had a great time planning a "surprise" party for him.  Marissa spent so much time decorating the house, even putting confetti all over the floor in the entry way :) It was so adorable!!  I made him a strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting, and Ashley made a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting (for the people that don't like strawberry!).  I also made chicken marsala.  I have never made it before, but it was SO delicious!!  Nathan said it was his new favorite meal.  So it was a huge success!!  The kids were great and made him their own presents.  Marissa worked for like a month making him pictures, a puppet, games, and a birthday crown.  Dylan wrapped up some of his toys and I love the look on his face when he watches Nathan open the gifts!  It is precious!  Ashley and I had a great plan to take a package that was delivered to Nathan today, and wrap it up as if we got it for him.  The picture didn't come out, but the look on his face was priceless!  It was so funny :)  We had a great night together, and I know Nathan really had a good birthday!  Here are a few pictures.  The ones of the gifts Ashley and I gave him were really blurry :( but here are some that tuned out:

Look at Dylan's face, I love it :)
