He actually doesn't even care about presents, but I love to give him presents so it makes the day a little more fun for me.

I'm a super sappy person in real life, so for “occasions” I tend to look for silly cards to balance that. Mostly so I don't cry a lot when giving them to the recipient. That way I know they'll laugh instead of being like “oh... um... thanks for the card” and then we hear crickets since I'm sitting there crying about a sappy card. A's birthday is no exception. Excuse the pink envelope, which made no sense to me. Even though I'm the one who is more high strung, A can't handle the excitement of a big event, and this card cracked me up.
It was a good day.

Cute! I LOVE my wellies! Dan loves funfetti too, I don't get it. His mom thinks it's hysterical. His 30th B-day is coming up and I have ZERO idea what to get him. :(
Very cute! I actually think the rainboots are kinda cute.
