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!
