Happy Birthday to John! He is 30! We have had a great time celebrating this milestone birthday and feel so blessed to have such a wonderful dad and husband!
The festivities started last night when we went to Stillwater to go out with friends - no kids! Both Bennett and Logan stayed with my mom, Andrew, and Amy while we went out for a great dinner with
Kyle and Jen Exsted at Marx.
We enjoyed catching up with Kyle and Jen over a fabulous dinner. The best part is that Kyle and John share the same birthday - double the celebration! John and Kyle have been good friends since high school and we all did Young Life together in Minneapolis (John and Jen were both on staff in Mpls). Our kids are close in age and we've all enjoyed hitting such wonderful milestones in our lives together!
The guys didn't expect this, but I brought in a special cake and had them bring it out after our meal...this is what 30 candles looks like! :) I think our server made a comment about getting a "sunburn" from the extreme heat barreling off these flames...haha! We had such a great night out and the kids did great...why don't we do that more often????! Thanks to Kyle and Jen for meeting up with us in Stillwater!
Today we celebrated a little more! Since John had YL tonight, the boys and I baked a cake during the day and showed up at the pre-club dinner with all the leaders to help celebrate. I cut "30" out of fruit roll-ups and put it on the cake, along with another 30 candles...just in case John forgot how old he is now! Logan did most of the candles himself and he was pretty proud!
Happy Birthday, honey! Can't wait to see where the next 30 take us...
