Daddy's Birthday

It was such a busy week getting ready for Jim's big surprise birthday party which was Saturday night out in Pottstown. On his actual birthday (Friday), Sophie and I made him a cake (Sophie helped!) and we had a nice, though overcooked, steak dinner.

Then Saturday was the big day where lots of us family threw Jim/James/Daddy a big surprise 40th birthday party. He was, for the most part, pretty darn surprised up until the very end. AND we did really spring one on him by having all of his old bandmates (Jim was in a few bands but most notably one called Leather Rose that did well for itself and had some serious local renown) that he hasn't seen in decades show up. It was a good time for all until we got kicked out of the and several of the Oxenfords got banned from the Philadelphia Phillies firehall but that's another story for another time and certainly NOT for Sophie's blog. Sophie was a true party girl and after warming up a bit by being allowed to spoon icing directly off her Daddy's cake by her DeeRee, had a blast chasing balloons and running around with the big kids.

Happy 40th Birthday to the sweetest, kindest, funniest, most handsome husband best friend and father to our children a girl could ever ask for!!! I love you so much!!! xoxoxo
