Happy Birthday Russ!!

My sweet husand turned 39 today. If you ask me he doesn't look like he is 39 or anywhere close to it. Maybe because his wife is so much younger than him. (Not really only 7 years) We had a fun day. He started his day off at 4 am by going to Kohl's for me to pick up a special present that Calleb wants for Christmas. I was going to go but he offered, and since I was already sleep deprived from working two graveyard shifts this week I let him. The boys all made special cards for him. Russ let Marshall open most of his presents so that he could get practice for his birthday coming in a few weeks. We got him some new clothes, a football and The Office season four. Later we took the kids to my Mom's, did a little Christmas shopping (where he bought me a present for his birthday, some new clog slippers). Then I let him take me to see Twilight. I think he thought the movie was a little corny since he hasn't read the books, but he endured it for me. We then went and got the kids and took them to dinner with us. All in all I think he had a great day. I sure love this guy. He is a great dad, he loves making up games for the kids to play, he loves helping them expand their imaginations, he loves to take them fun places. The boys love being around him, even when he is trying to hide for some alone time they always find him and he doesn't mind. He grew up with 4 brothers and no sisters and since I am usually the only female around here he knows I feel a little left out some of the time. He always tries to include me and demands that his sons show me respect. I love that about him. He works hard to make sure that we have all that we need and more. I am so thankful to have him in my life. Happy Birthday babe!
