Best Tuesday ever

Sonia and I tried hard to get ready for Tuesday because it was Jeremy's birthday. A week before we went shopping to get Jeremy something practical and I tried explaining to Sonia what we were about to do... to my surprise she decided to get something for papa too. She grabbed a small can and said "Papa." It was a can of fancy ginger candy. That is how on Tuesday morning Jeremy got a new pair of jeans and ginger candy this year.

Then I made his day a complete disaster because I kept him super busy. Well, he knew there was going to be a surprise but that was all. He helped with tidying our apartment, ran to the store to get a few things and walked the dog. He was such a good sport ;-)

So around 3:30 pm we with my mom, Sonia and Payton got in the car. We followed Angie to our destination and Jeremy was still making guesses and was generally puzzled. Then he saw an ad and asked if we were going to see Jordan Circus perform at UVU. So he guessed right...

We did. We saw a rare white tiger jump through a ring of fire, cool pink and blue poodles, two amazing elephants doing all sorts of tricks and much more.

On the way home I tried to act as if we are just going home to enjoy a small family dinner. When Jeremy walked down the stairs and saw a huge crowd shouting "Happy Birthday", he said "there are people there." Needless to say he was surprised once again ;-)

Thank you everyone for coming on such a short notice, for braving a huge yellow lab (I didn't realize he would be outside at that time of a day) and for making this Tuesday special to us.

We had some bagels with smoked salmon and blew the candles on already traditional Raspberry torte.

Sonia was a great host. She let everyone play with her toys and Mischa did also very well. He is a real socialite in our family.
