We had a count down for the five days before his birthday and each day he was given a card and a little something from us.
The fifth day before his birthday was a Sunday and we treated him to a 5 course meal that included lasagna, salad, breadsticks, corn, and apple cobbler. We even went so far as to have sparkling apple cranberry juice in goblets! It was a lot of fun and a great way to start out the week.
On the 4th day he was given golf tee's and some practice golf balls.
Two Christmas's ago we gave Brian a digital picture frame for his office. Since he still hadn't taken it out of the box :) we decided to re-gift it. This time we had already downloaded pictures on it for him so all he had to do was take it to work!
To say Brian loves "Sandwich Wednesday" would be a gross understatement! On this day we went to visit him at work and took him a sandwich from Jimmy Johns.
With 1 day before his birthday we gave Brian an old-school Utah Jazz shirt
(the green one with the music note).
On his birthday he was given this card and a puzzle we made for him telling him what his birthday present was.
Brian putting the puzzle together. Jaxon was great to not spill the surprise!
The completed puzzle: Two University of Utah football season tickets!!
We went to Chili's for dinner and then the boys helped Brian blow out his candles on his cinnamon rolls.
To top off his birthday week we had dinner with his family on Sunday. His brother Adam works with someone who played football with Kyle Wittingham and was able to arrange the best gift ever! Adam ordered a 2009 Perfect Season football and had it autographed by Kyle Wittingham (head coach), Brian Johnson (Quarterback), and Luis Sakota (kicker). His family all pitched in and gave him the football, a display case, and a certificate of authenticity.
I know Brian loved and appreciated his birthday week from the boys and I, but this gift from his family brought him very close to tears. :)

What a cute idea! I don't think I'll do an entire week of things, but I'm definitely going to get us the season tickets to the U football games. Zac said that whenever he got to move back, that's what he wanted to get. Who did you go through to find them?
