My sweet husband turns 68\u2014wow, time flies! We had a lovely start with a simple dinner last night with Jagger and Ty. Nothing fancy, just a cozy meal of wedge salads with chili. It\u2019s always so nice to have the boys around, especially on a special day like today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, Doug was hoping for a birthday miracle with the Broncos and Buffs, but unfortunately, neither team gave him the win he was hoping for. There&#8217;s still hope, though\u2014he\u2019s holding out for the Broncos\u2019 last chance against Kansas City (and the referees, of course). We&#8217;ll see what happens!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we\u2019ll be saying see you in a week to Jagger, who\u2019s heading off to California at 3 p.m. to spend time with Ava and her family for New Years. We&#8217;ll drop him off at the Eagle Airport around 2:30 for his flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonight, the celebration continues&#8230;Marty and Melanie, Davy and Abbey, and Ben and Eleni will all join us for a bigger dinner to celebrate Doug&#8217;s big day. I\u2019m cooking ribs, filets, potato krack (Doug&#8217;s favorite), green beans, and a fresh salad. For dessert, we\u2019ll have German chocolate cake with either homemade butter brickle ice cream or vanilla. Hopefully, it&#8217;s going to be a delicious evening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, Ty will be back by to celebrate his dad as well. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are all so grateful for your kindness, strength, and love. You make our lives better in every way, and I feel so lucky to spend my life with you. Here\u2019s a picture of a 1-year-old Doug\u2014how adorable is he?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you talk to Doug today, please wish him a very happy birthday! We love you so much, sweetheart. Here\u2019s to many more years of happiness, health, and love. XOXO L<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"739\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-739x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7916\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-739x1024.jpeg 739w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-216x300.jpeg 216w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-768x1064.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-1108x1536.jpeg 1108w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-1478x2048.jpeg 1478w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-scaled.jpeg 1847w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy 68th Birthday, Doug!
