My favorite weekend of the year.

Happy 30th Birthday

Celebrating 30 Years of Chris

We took the entire day to celebrate the momentous occasion and it was delightful! Chris is embarking on a new decade of life and in order to set the tone for the day/year I woke him with the music of "The Best is Yet to Come."  The rest of the day proceeded as follows:

-Breakfast: German pancakes, berries, and even bacon- something rarely seen in my kitchen

-Gifts in the form of maple syrup, homemade granola, and a few other yummies from Trader Joe's

-Exercise: take the kids to the YMCA so we can work out together. Feels like we're already on a date. But then we go home to change, take the kiddos to the (blessed) Dyers, and we drive to Seattle for the real date.

-Date: Sailing! So fun to be out on the Sound and experience the quiet movement of a sailboat. Bliss! Definitely a favorite. Chris is considering taking it up as a new hobby.  

-Dinner: Walk through Seattle to get sushi. Yum!

-More Gifts: We put our mother's gifts to good use as we purchased a pair of much needed running shoes and two desperately needed white shirts.  Thank you parents!

-Cake: German Chocolate, of course, which we decided to wait and eat with the Dyers. That way we could enjoy their company and ensure we didn't eat the entire goodness ourselves. :)

Without the kids we feel so young...which is ironic since we were supposed to be celebrating his advancing age. It was a wonderful day with a wonderful man!
