Happy Birthday Chad!

We celebrated Chad's 36th birthday Friday night with pizza and cake at our house. LaNita made her delicious home-made pizzas, and we relaxed and hung out together. Chad's birthday is not until February 4th, but he will be gone on an ice fishing trip in northern Minnesota that weekend. Chad's parents leave for Florida on Saturday, so we decided to celebrate his birthday a little early. Thank you for joining us to make Chad's birthday special.....Bill, LaNita, Todd, Missy, Dylan, Paige, Cruz, Ross, Paul, Tara, Evan and Autumn.

The boys wanted to help Dad get his ice fishing poles ready for next weekend. Happy Birthday Dad!
