Yesterday was Joe's birthday...and Flag Day! With our busy schedules, it seemed best to celebrate Joe's birthday on the actual day...imagine that! We were joined by family and enjoyed pizza, salad, fruit, drinks and of course, dessert. We had a great time!! Janis reminisced about the day she "thought" she was going to have Joe, but it was just a false alarm. Then, when she actually knew she was going to have him on Flag Day, the thought actually crossed her mind (in a joking, funny way) to name him Flag Day Smeall...HAHA...I can say I'm definitely glad that didn't happen!! Could you imagine the torture he would endure with that name?!?! Wise choice to name him something different, Janis!
As usual, Joe loved opening his presents! One thing Joe is good at is making Birthday lists so people know exactly what he wants. He got a new golf bag, new reef flip flops, money, and a Husky snuggie! He loves everything and I'm sure they will all be put to good use...I have to say, I'm likin' the snuggie (in fact, I'm curled up in it as we speak...shhh...don't tell Joe)! Joe's gift from me was money to buy the baseball bat he's wanted to get! The bat is usually pretty expensive, but he found it on Ebay and won the bid, getting it at a MUCH lower price! Way to go, Joe!
Here's to another good year, babe! Happy 27th!
Yep...there's 27 candles on that cake!

Tyler thinks Uncle Joe is pretty funny in his snuggie!
I have to say, I'm a fan of the snuggie!
