Happy Birthday, Tad!!

Friday was Tad's birthday! And just in case anyone forgot, he had it programmed in his Blackberry. We made sure to make it a memorable day with celebrations all day long. After lunch, we snuck into his office and had a celebration with his department.

My dad was in town for the weekend and his mom was too! That night the four of us had a gluttonous feast at Kevin Rathbun Steak.....

We headed back to Tad's house where a fully decorated surprise was waiting for him. We had presents, streamers and mini cakes from a nice bakery. Everyone in the Petrick family has their own fishing pole, so Dad's gift to Tad was a nice set-up that he brought from California....

He must be liked even more than most of us, because he now owns his own tackle box, courtesy of Petrick Bait Shop.

Happy Birthday, TAD! I look forward to celebrating many, many more!
