Michael's Birthday!

It was Kelly's, Michael's girlfriend, birthday that week too, so we did a joint celebration. 

Make a wish!

My turn!  Hmmm...what was I thinking...missing my brother?!? :)

So in the past Michael has tried to psych me out with opening up gifts.  I remember once he got a big 'ol box for a small gift and put bricks in it to make it heavier.  I got him good this year as you can tell from the look on his face!  

We got him a gift card, but I thought that wasn't much fun to open by itself, so I got an old box, put one of Calvin's toys in it for weight, and then filled the rest of the space with diapers.  (I'm laughing just writing about it)  The best part was that when he unwrapped it, he first thought it was a spice rack because of the box.  He said, "Oh, I wonder what this is?"  I thought it was over when Calvin readily responded, "It's diapers!" But luckily, Michael thought he was joking.  It was funny and ended with telling him that we needed the box, the toy, and the diapers back!

I was sooo excited when I found out that my brother, Michael, was moving back to Utah.  He moved up to Washington in April, but now he's back!  He came back just in time to celebrate his birthday.
