Happy Birthday, Dad!

Miss Autumn kindly let us post today because today is a very important day. It's our dad's birthday!
The sad part of it is that he's away in Rhode Island for the week and won't be home until Friday night. Mitch and I bought him what we think is the perfect gift! We had one of dad's favorite paintings of Mitch put on a t-shirt!
So next week when dad is back in Rhode Island for the second week in a row, he won't miss us too much because Mitch will be right there with him the whole time!
We wrapped it up and we still have to make him a card, Mitch, and then we'll be all set for him to drive in on Friday!
hummmmmmmmmmm, what to do about the EATS! I'm thinking of the Glenwood for a hamburger and fries! Are you thinking the same thing I'm thinking, Mitch?
But we'll have to wait to celebrate unless mom agrees to take us to Glenwood so we can get the pawty started and then we'll just go again with dad the next time! What do you think of that plan? Brilliant, right?!
This is a picture of our dad when he was just a little boy!
Happy birthday to the bestest dad in the whole wide world!
We love you, dad! Hurry home so we can celebrate your birthday with you!

Love ya lots and lots,

Maggie and Mitch

  9. Happy Birthday Maggie and Mitch's Dad!! We know you'll love your present.

    And we think maybe you should go to Glenwood with Mom today just so you'll know exactly what to order when you take your Dad - a practice run, so to speak.

    Our Mom is absolutely ooohing and awwing over the picture of your Dad when he was a little boy - such a sweet picture and a little bowtie!!

    XOXO

  10. Happy Birthday to your dad! I am sure that he will be so proud to wear the Mitch Tshirt. Are you going to have ice cream to celebrate his birthday?

  11. Absolutely the bestest pressie! And we definitely think you should go to the Glenwood to check it out and make sure the quality is still the same, before dad gets home. Wouldn't want to disappoint him

  13. What a great birthday present! Happy Birthday to your dad!! I think going to Glenwood sounds like a fabulous idea, Maggie! Give him big hugs from me!

  14. Your dad is going to love the gift! We just know it! That was a great idea, Maggie and MItch, and you wrapped it beautifully. We like how you're holding it between your paws. Take good care of it until he gets home and then REALLY enjoy the celebration! (We agree - a trial run at the Glenwood makes absolute sense. Tell 'em he's coming and maybe they'll put a candle in the burger!

    Happy Birthday wishes to your dad! (Check out the twinkle in those little boy eyes!)

  50. Hey M&M,
    That is sure a super dad birthady present, well suited to a super dad. We know that your dad is gonna love it. We hope that you all have a GReat birthday eat out but think it might be good to let your dad be there unless y'all go twice which is an evben better plan like you said. Who did the gGReat wrap job?
