We celebrated Dave’s birthday yesterday. Ava helped make the carrot cake and the birthday crown. Dave and I snuck out to watch a movie and have dinner (thanks for babysitting Ginny). We promised to have more regular date nights now that we are moved and getting settled. It was a fun evening. One of the best things about having kids is the way it forces you to experience events differently. If it were Dave and I alone, we would probably just exchange cards and go to dinner. With the kids now, birthdays are huge…making cards, cakes, crowns…and of course, every event has to have balloons. And really, I think they have it figured out, because what life event isn’t better with cake and balloons?
