Happy 34th Birthday, Daddy!

Erik celebrated the big 3-4!  Unfortunately for Erik, this birthday landed in the middle of the work week.  So, it meant a normal working day bookended with presents and breakfast in bed on one end and carne asada tacos, more presents, and cupcakes on the other.  (Cairo and Jonah helped me make cupcakes.  They enjoyed the making and decorating of them just as much as they enjoyed eating them. Yum.)

I'm not sure who was more excited about the birthday- Cairo or Jonah.  They both spent days eagerly awaiting the presents and the cake.  Cairo was a little disappointed when we didn't have oodles of people over for a big party, but she got over it as soon as Erik started opening presents.  They sang Erik multiple choruses for "happy birthday."

Jonah had his way with some of the paper packaging that came with one of Erik's presents-  I mean, isn't it common knowledge that recyclables are more fun than toys?
