Chris' 35th Birthday!

We celebrated, celebrated and celebrated some more for Chris's 35th birthday! I just love birthdays! I would have loved to throw a party but he preferred to spend some quality family/wifey time so that is what we did. He and I had a date night at Lindy's Stteakhouse on Wednesday while my parents watched the girls.

After our delicious meal we played some mini golf by the Como Zoo which we had done 5 years ago for his 30th too :) 






We came home and had homemade rolo cheesecake with my parents and Linnea. 



Harper surprisingly was in her crib! My mom was brave enough to try it and it worked! Harper gave daddy the gift of sleeping through the night in her own bed, rather than with us where she has been the last 10 months. His actual birthday was Thursday and we spent the day hanging out at home. I did some crafts with Linnea and we just kinda hung out and got some stuff done until 5 when we mini golfed again!

This time golfing was with the girls at The Science Museum. Turns out it is only $5 Thurs through the Sun after 5.  We looked into Walker Art Sculpture Garden but it was way too expensive for us right now. Maybe another time..



Linnea's 1st time putt putting.
It was a hit!
Then we used a groupon I had at a drive in restaurant called the Dari-Ette that was actually on the Food Network! 
Fun Day! 



We love you Chris/Daddy and hope you enjoyed your special day and entrance into the mid 30's.
Birthday boy opened his gifts quick when we got home...we gave him a sno cone maker and Twins iced coffee/drink cup...the kind with a straw. He also bought himself some new clothes, including a Buxton jersey...Buxton is an awesome minor league ball player. Chris is really into minor league baseball right now :)
