I think the best part of the day was when Ben ran into our room at 7am and said "Daddy it's your birthday today!" So cute, and mommy was still half asleep so this was not a prompt by me. We had talked about it the few days prior but how fun to wake up to that :)
Chris decided what would be fun to do on his birthday was take the kids to the pool at the gym. So that's what we did and Uncle Nic came along too which was nice then we had 1 adult per kid! I couldn't believe how brave the girls were, in particular Samantha. She walked right in up to her chin and would jump off the edge by herself....no fear we are going to have to keep an eye on that one :) Ben was much more brave this year too. He is so much taller than last year so he could play a lot more by himself and of course he love to jump off the edge too!
After the pool fun we came home for naps (all of us). Then we took the kids out for dinner on Lake Minnetonka. The weather was beautiful. We stopped on the way home to get some birthday cupcakes. Ben was very concerned about having something to put candles in for daddy's birthday. We did it after the girls went to bed. Allison can't eat the cupcakes anyway (baked goods, cross contamination with nuts). Ben wanted to make a wish before he helped daddy blow out the candles and when I asked him what he wished for he said "cupcakes".
