When I asked Anthony what he wanted to do to celebrate Daddy's birthday the very first thing he said was he wanted to go to the ice cream shop next to the Game Stop where we went with Daddy. Now mind you the story he is thinking about happened about 3 years ago. Wow! What a memory this kiddo has!!
Since that is what Anthony wanted to do for his Daddy's birthday...that's what we did.
First, we went to Texas Roadhouse...one of Daddy's favorite restaurants and enjoyed Ribeye Steak...Daddy's favorite meat! (Isa stuck with just the green beans!) Then we headed over to Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Shop and Anthony ordered Coffee Ice Cream because that is what Daddy liked. :) Finally, our night ended at Game Stop. Anthony sweet talked me into a fishing game for his Xbox because his favorite memory of Daddy was that he played games with Anthony. How can you resist that? So, that was our evening. I think we had a great family day, remembering Daddy and spending time together.
We have had many family and friends send us emails, texts, phone calls and other messages throughout today letting us know that they are keeping us in their thoughts and prayers. Please know how much we appreciate it. I believe it has truly made a difference throughout this special day.
Daddy's favorite verse (well at least one of them!)
For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. ~Philippians 4:13
That is the strength that gets me through each day, stronger than the last.
Looks like you guys had a really great day together! What a great way to spend it. :)
