Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to Allen. Allen turned 24 last Sunday on November 23. I decided that we needed to have a week of Partying. The Sunday before his birthday I was too excited about his present that I couldn't wait to give them to him. I thought he could use them for his intramural championship game. So a week before he got his new cleats. He has been taping up his older cleats for a couple months now. Then on Thursday my friend Kendra and I threw our husbands a joint birthday party. Allen and I were at a volleyball game and I was sure it would only go 3 matches. But when it was going a fourth match and it was 8:30, the time we were supposed to leave to head back the apartment I decided I needed to think of an excuse. The only thing I could think of was that I needed to do my seating charts. I told Allen I forgot about my seating charts and I had to to them right then. He was a little puzzled, but being the great husband that he is, he agreed. He was truly surprised when he got home. He had a good time visiting with his friends. Thank you everyone who was able to make it. BRYNN EVEN CAME FOR ALLEN'S BIRTHDAY! Okay... Brynn just came for a visit and it was FABULOUS! I love you Brynn.

Allen actually spent most of his Birthday at the church on Sunday. But we had a nice evening together and he even got eggnog (something I am not fond of) for his birthday. This is Allen showing us his face his face (Burnett Tradition)

I have seen this on some other blogs... so for Allen's 24th Birthday... here are 24 things you may or may not know about Allen.

1. He can hackysack really well... well at least he says he can.

2. He LOVES Frisbee and he is really good at it too

3. He can make really good burritos and BLTs

4. He is a really good dancer. My student's think it is weird, but I think it is awesome

5. Allen is a ladies man... okay he is really a 2 year old's man. There are two little girls in our ward that just love Allen. Abbie will talk to Allen on the phone multiple times a day and she yells out his name in the quad and waves to him at church while he is up on the stand. Our car is Allen's car and our house is Allen's house. The other little girl loves Allen too. When ever Clara sees me, she won't say hi... she will just point and say "Alln" Alln... And she isn't satisfied to she sees Allen.
