Happy Birthday T.J.!!!

T.J. had 2 birthday dinners! First in Dallas for some BBQ and then in Lubbock for some surf & turf! They were both yummy! We also celebrated with some banana pudding, one of T.J.'s favorites.

T.J., you are truly a blessing!! You are such an amazing husband and such a wonderful daddy. Ellie and I (and Gabby too!) are so very thankful for you!!!
