This is Jared's gift from me if you haven't noticed already...its says Happy Hanukkah and NOT Happy Birthday....soooo I realized a few days before Jared's birthday that I had ran out of birthday wrapping paper so I went to Hallmark to get some more and when I saw this paper rolled up all I could see running arcoss the tube was happy happy happy which I thought would unroll and say happy birthday, but to my surprise when I opened it, it said happy hanukkah....so I decided to use it anyway since it was a Sunday and I couldn't go buy more...sure made for a funny story...i'm such a blonde

Opening his "Happy Hanukkah" gift

A DEEP FRYER...he was soo excited {me too}
