happy birthday

He builds forts with the girls on Sunday mornings

When he reads bedtime stories he always does the best voices

We all cheer/breathe a sigh of relief when he comes through the door each night

He's smart and funny and works hard and takes excellent care of his girls

We love our Bryan and were thrilled to celebrate his birthday this week

As per usual, we spread out the birthday celebrations over a few days.  

On Sat. night we did some birthday shopping at the mall and got dinner while we were out

The restaurant was all out of kids' cups, which should be a crime 

The girls didn't mind drinking chocolate milk out of a glass cup but Bryan and I about killed ourselves taking care that said glass cup didn't break 

On Monday night we had ice cream cake

Mattie was a little terrified of the candles but Jilly was happy to help blow them out

And then on Tuesday (his real bday) we had crab for dinner

Our first taste of real Baltimore crab and it didn't disappoint

We're quickly learning that Old Bay Seasoning is Maryland's love language

And we're digging it too

Happy Birthday Bryan!! We love you
