Miguel's 25th Birthday! -- Part Two

I completely forgot half of Miguel's Birthday post... I blogged about Miguel's birthday HERE but left out his gifts... Oops!

Miguel is well loved... which is obvious by the amount of friends that showed up for his celebrations, but it is also obvious in the generous gifts he received! Miguel opened his presents when we got home from Atlanta on Sunday night. Miguel had four cards in the mail. One was from my Uncle and his girl friend Linda, one from my grandma, one from my sister and brother-in-law, and one from my parents.

Thanks Sarah and Jared!

My grandma gave Miguel a generous check and my sister and her husband gave Miguel a much needed gift certificate so he could buy some new clothes. Miguel needs some new shoes but doesn't like spending money on himself. So this gift card is a good thing! 

Look at the puppy! =)

Miguel was so surprised and excited when he opened the card from my parents. They gave him Sunday tickets to the PGA in Atlanta! He was genuinely surprised and so happy! It's hard to surprise Miguel! Way to go, Mom and Dad!

Miguel's parents also gave him a very generous gift... A Big Green Egg! If you know anything about these grills, you know how obsessive some people can get about them. There is definitely a cult following of sorts =) The Amadors have two and I have eaten many meals cooked in them and I can say from experience that it turns out wonderful flavor. For the virgin grill Miguel made us some yummy salmon! The only thing we learned was to next time move it away from the side of the house. We grilled right next to the only part of the house that isn't brick... and completely melted our siding. It is all deformed and catawampus now. Oops! That's alright... I think it's part of the learning curve of being first time homeowners.

Well there you have it! It was a good birthday for Miguel and he feels loved and is enjoying his generous gifts! =)
