Okay, just one more party

May is big birthday month in our family, on both sides actually.

But my Dan turned 30.

30!

And I didn't even write him a special tribute or post on his actual birthday! Terrible!

But better late than never, right.

We did have a little party with my parents over Memorial Day.


Mom made the table so festive,



And I made the cake.




We didn't have 30 candles but he blew out all nine like a pro!



And then we went out to eat on his actual birthday. And as we sat there in our booth, chowing on chips and salsa, while Ava busied herself with the sugar packets and Luke rolled his cars off the edge of the table, we realized that this was the first time we had taken the family to a sit down restaurant since Luke was a few weeks old. At the very same restaurant, incidentally.

The food was good and the kids didn't do half bad, so maybe we won't have to wait another 2 years before we try it again.

So without further ado, in my traditional birthday blog fashion-

I love you, Dan! Happy Birthday!
