Happy 40th Birthday TBIRD!!

Tony turned 40.... finally!

On Tuesday, January 10th Tony turned 40 and we had a quiet family celebration.  It was a snowy day, busses were cancelled and the boys didn't have school.  We a initially planned to head to Kingston to skate at city hall and have dinner at the Keg, but the snow interrupted those plans.  We settled for a family dinner at Montanas!

Tony really didn't want any big celebration for this milestone, he would prefer putting the money toward a really good mini-van in the summer!  How can you tell TBird is 40!  Always sensible!

We did have a small, spontaneous celebration on Saturday night when a bunch of the families from Griffin's hockey team popped over after the game to have a drink with him!  As you can see, they all know him really well.... lots of Crown Royal!

I had all kinds of ideas, a weekend away to Chicago to watch hockey and explore, a short cruise but I decided to give Tony a sensible gift to go along with what he wanted.... money!!

I had been saving since September.  It's become a bit of  a joke but I keep stashing extra cash away in my underwear and this time it went Tony for his birthday!!  As you can see... he's thrilled!!  He can spend it anyway he wants, even to pay bills if he wants!  I am  secretly hoping he will use it toward new flooring!

The boys also had presents for their dad... Griffin got him a Steam Whistle gift pack that has a cool bottle opener that he wanted and Owen had a $40 McDonald gift card for him for his morning coffee run and a mall gift card so he could go pick a new hat!  Although his birthday was elaborate... it sure was special for us to celebrate with him!
