Chris' Birthday

We had a great day together for Chris' birthday. Chris' mom and brother, Mike, came over and we feasted ourselves to plenty of Papa John's pizza and breadsticks (courtesy of Judy). Then, Chris opened gifts and the family played the new board game Mike got Chris called Would You Rather? To end the night, Chris blew out the candles on his favorite chocolate chip cookies (my recipe-- wouldn't you know?). We also listened to Tim McGraw's song "My Next Thirty Years" (lyrics listed below):

I think I’ll take a moment, celebrate my age

The ending of an era and the turning of a page

Now it’s time to focus in on where I go from here

Lord have mercy on my next thirty years

Hey my next thirty years

I’m gonna have some fun

Try to forget about all the crazy things I’ve done

Maybe now I’ve conquered all my adolescent fears

And I’ll do it better in my next thirty years

My next thirty years I’m gonna settle all the scores

Cry a little less, laugh a little more

Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear

Figure out just what I’m doing here

In my next thirty years

Oh my next thirty years,

I’m gonna watch my weight

Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late

Drink a little lemonade and not so many (root) beers

Maybe I’ll remember my next thirty years

My next thirty years will be the best years of my life

Raise a little family and hang out with my wife

Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear

Make up for lost time here
In my next thirty years

In my next thirty years
