Happy 40th Birthday Mylissa!

Happy 40th birthday Mylissa! Before Mylissa woke up, we decorated the cabin for her birthday. We put a "happy 40th birthday" banner above the door and then balloons going down the stairs. It looked very festive. Mylissa had requested "coffee cake" for breakfast so sweet mom and Marilyn made that and scrambled eggs. Then Dad cooked bacon for the kids. It was a great breakfast.

Mylissa wanted to go for a bike ride on her birthday so we decided to do the Herriman loop. Marilyn drove in the car with Caleb and Julie. The other kids rode on the back of the 4 wheelers with Mom and Dad while Mylissa and I biked. It's a really pretty canyon with a gorgeous view of the Teton mountains and an overlook of Island Park. It ended up being a 40 mile bike ride and took us a little unde 4 hours. It was a great adventure. Once we got back to the house, we were a little tired so the kids went out to the tent and played school and the adults took a nap. It was awesome. 

Mom prepared a delicious spaghetti dinner for us and then made Mylissa a peach cobbler. Everything tasted wonderful especially with Dad's ice cream. Then Mylissa opened her presents. Shantelle did a really cute idea and organized it so Mylissa opened a present throughout the day on the "40" each hour. The biggest hit was the birthday cards that the kids made for Mylissa. They were so sweet and they put so much time into them. Hopefully it was a special day for Mylissa. We love her so much and wish her at least another 40 healthy and happy years!
