Or anything, really.
It might be the soldier in him. I don't know.
He reminds me of Kimball Cho from The Mentalist. Cho is ALWAYS serious.
Still, I always try to make his birthday special. I ordered him this awesome cake from a fellow military wife:
No, it's not because he's my lobster like on the Friends episode. I mean, he IS, but I got this cake because we always laugh when the lobster dances on Family Guy.
I think it amused him. He went, "Is that lobster on the cake?" when I showed him.
He wanted to go to Joe's Crab Shack for his birthday dinner. I do not like seafood but he loves it.
No, really, he does love his king crab legs, despite his face.
I was all, "Be silly! Come on! It's your birthday!"
Well, it's something...
Since I had to sit in a room that reeked of seafood, I ordered this:
That would be a pina colada. Of course as I sipped it, Tommy kept going, "Are you going to get drunk in front of us? That's inappropriate." I assured him I would not get drunk and he'd fall silent and go, "Are you feeling okay? Can you see me?"
Tom seemed to enjoy his meal.
Then it was time to return home and open presents! I would have opened presents first thing but he was all, "I'll just wait until later."
Perry for the Disney Infinity game. Natalie makes us play with her.
A Cleveland Browns hat. And yes, he's well aware that they suck, but each year he hopes..
A Cleveland Indians grill cover. Again. See above.
And a thingy so he can listen to music from his iPad.
He said he liked everything but sometimes it's hard to tell when he doesn't squeal or jump around with excitement like I do.
It's just who he is. I'll be the silly one in the relationship.

The pictures are priceless! I think deep down inside he was jumping around like a kid!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely the silly one in our relationship too, although every once in a while my husband surprises me with a burst of goofiness. I think I'm rubbing off on him!
ReplyDeleteI'm the silly/emotional one in my relationship too. For a long time, Jared would say something was "pretty good" when I asked him if he liked it or not. I had to explain "pretty good" is worse than "good", so stop saying it!!!
ReplyDeleteGood news is that there is really only room for one silly one, so it for the best! ;) Love his crab leg picture...LOL!-Ashley
ReplyDeleteMy husband is the same way! Sooo frustrating!
ReplyDeleteThe cake is hilarious and I love that your husband doesn't crack a smile in the photos. It makes them that much funnier. Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteThat first picture from with the crab legs cracks me up!! Good thing you bring the silly to the relationship. You wouldn't want the kids growing up around too much normal!!
ReplyDeleteThat last picture is exactly like every picture of my husband and me EVER. I'm the silly one, and he doesn't have a clue how to smile. lol Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of him being silly. He does have it inside of him! and I love the cake!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday Tom!
The last picture is hilarious. I think you guys did a great job taking him out and spoiling him for his birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your husband! His seriousness just makes him funny :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really fun party. You have to loosen him up a bit. I good a great laugh looking at the photos.
ReplyDeleteThe lobster cake is epic! As are the crab legs. Personally, I'd love a birthday like that. Are you free that day? ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun cake!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute cake! Hope you guys had a great weekend!
ReplyDeletehahahaha Im guessing its the military in him but I love that you make it fun either way :D
ReplyDeleteYou two seem like the perfect couple, serious and silly! I'm sure he loved it, especially watching you not get drunk. What sacrifices you make for him, having to smell seafood and not wanting any of it!!! Oh, and Happy belated Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteAaron's the same in our relationship- maybe it's a military guy thing?
ReplyDeleteMy husband doesn't get super excited about his birthday either, I'm sure a custom cake would do the trick.
ReplyDeleteLove the cake! That's so awesome :-) And looking at the pcitures from the dinner, he totally had a great time, no matter what he may say :-)
ReplyDeleteI am giggling aloud at that last photo - it's such a good couple's photo. Natalie squeals at every present, right?
ReplyDeleteAnd aw about the Cleveland Indians. Don't they watch Major League?
That drink looks AMAZING!!! Bahahah at Tommy asking if you were gonna get drunk!
ReplyDeleteThe Browns got my favorite quarterback, JOHNNY FOOTBALL!!!! I am so excited to watch the Browns...Johnny play this season!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha someone has to wear the funny pants in the relationship. Laughs are a must!
ReplyDeleteOh I love that guy from the Mentalist - he's so awesome. in a totally subdued way of course.
ReplyDeletejust like the birthday I suspect!
Happy Birthday.
These picture definitely portray his seriousness! I can't quite imagine not getting excited about things, but I know a couple guys like that. I think Angel and I are BOTH the silly one in the couple, so that could be a problem...
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love the balance between you have with your husband. He's crazy serious and your crazy weird. I'm crazy weird too- so I love that quality in you! lol Birthday well done! And cool cake, you're pretty thoughtful
ReplyDeleteThe crab leg pic was hilarious! My whole family loves seafood, thank goodness! My youngest son used to ask for the pink meat when he was tiny (lobster). :)
ReplyDeletethe crab leg pictures are priceless. You did way more than I did for my husband's birthday - you get wife of the year award for sure.
