Kenny's birthday got a little better as the day went on. The kids and I went downtown to get Daddy's present and his birthday donuts. They were well behaved and everyone was happy. When we got home we had pizza for dinner (seems to be what we do on birthdays) and then it was time to open his gift. We got him two gifts this year, but the kids "tricked" him into thinking he only got one. They were so excited about the trickery, especially Ben. I think Ben was more excited about that than anything else that night.
Opening the movie we got for him.
We put his first gift in a gift bag and that was the one he got to open. It was the movie 'Strange Brew.' It's a very funny old movie that we haven't seen in years. Next, and this is key to the surprise, he had to put the movie in the PlayStation so we could watch it. Kenny said we didn't need to watch it yet, but after my insistence with that look of 'you really need to do this,' he got the clue and put the movie in. By then he knew what was going to happen, but he did a great job being surprised and acting excited for the kids.
Looking at the kids surprised because there was something in the PlayStation he wasn't expecting.
Holding his new game with another surprised look on his face. He did some great acting and the kids totally bought it.
When Kenny went to take the disc out of the PlayStation so he could put his movie in, he discovered his real present. Gran Turismo 5, a PlayStation game he's been wanting for a long time. The kids were so excited, he was happy to get his game, and I'm happy not to have to listen to how much he wants the game. :) After getting his game, we decorated donuts and ate them. Yummy! So his birthday ended up better than it began, which was good. Happy Birthday Kenny! Here's to another 36 years of birthdays!
This is a present Sarah Kate made for Kenny. She cut the pictures out of the newspaper and made a note for him with them. I thought it was so funny and wanted to share. I love the 'famous guy' and the 'head in a bag girl.'
