Today is Michael’s birthday! Happy birthday, old man! 🙂

Here he is, wearing the new polo my mom sent him and the Hokies sweatshirt I surprised him with (all his old ones had holes in them!)

I think I might’ve been even more excited for him to open his presents than he was! I woke up in the middle of the night (when he was fast asleep) to set them out on the table and hang a birthday banner and balloons to surprise him.

My mom also sent him the LDS Children’s Songbook! He is the pianist for Primary (basically, the kids’ class at church), and has talked about getting one these music books for at home too, now that we have a piano. The kids’ songs are some of my very very favorites, so I can’t wait to hear him play!

We’ll have a real party on Saturday, with family, friends, cake, and ice cream! (What could possibly be better?) He has one more gift coming in the mail, too- Mario Kart Wii!

Happy 25th, pal! I love you!
