| Dillon opening gifts. |
I kept it small, but I didn't want it to be just another day. So the night before I wrapped gifts, put out some birthday party decor, baked a small cake, and set out some surprises for him.
We woke him up bright and early, told him to cut his hair and shower, and then made him open up gifts!!
He was blown away at how I somehow got all of this done under his nose. Opal and I are sneaky girls, I suppose!

| Opal, Daddy, and the clock she picked out for him. |
I let Opal pick out everything, from decor to the cake's icing color.
She even picked out the funniest gift for her daddy! We were browsing
the shelves in Marshall's when this little girl starts yelling, "Daddy!
Daddy!" and pointing at this silver clock. I look around so puzzled as
to why she wants me to hand her this clock, and when I do she holds on
to it for dear life and continues to say, "Daddy!"... I asked my sisters
and mom what to do and they agreed to just buy it and let him return it
if he didn't want it for his night stand. Luckily, he did. :-)

She loved watching her daddy open all of his gifts. It was so precious to watch her face light up when his did. She is the cutest. I am so thankful to be back under the same roof getting to share these moments together. It means everything to see these two build their bond again.
After he opened his gifts we dragged him out to IHOP for a birthday breakfast full of super sugary pancakes! It was lovely.
The day was great, we ran around and ended the day with cake and a delicious steak dinner.. (cooked by me!) I am glad I didn't listen to this guy and that we spoiled him. It was great to see him so happy and to know he felt loved and appreciated.
He is definitely the apple of our eyes.
