Benjamin's birthday

Yesterday was Benjmin's 30th birthday.

And aside from the fact that last week he bought a motorcyle

(and a bunch of safety gear)

as his new commuter vehicle,

we celebrated simply and quietly as a family.

In the morning I loaded up Little Man, Brother, and Sweet Pea

and we surprised him at work.

We brought handmade cards from the boys

(and a store bought card from me--hey, a girl can't do everything),

a couple of small gifts,

and the boys' favorite part: a mylar balloon.

In the evening I made his choice of dinner:

Island Chicken with Avocado Mango Salsa and Coconut Rice

Then we had spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting

decorated by Brother

and Little Man.

Happy birthday again, Love.

Looking forward to another year together. <3
