Twenty-nine.

Eric turned 29 yesterday! 

After a beautiful morning at the park and some good naptime,



we ate his favorite dinner of ribs and mashed potatoes. 
I had more than enough help in the kitchen this year.  Max and Sam were my official taste testers.

 A couple of me and the birthday boy.  He just keeps getting better and better looking with age... 


Not the most exciting birthday, but fun and relaxing nonetheless.

So, I have a confession to make, I'm not a very good gift giver.  Actually, I'm a terrible one.  I did surprise Eric with an afternoon date to the movies the day before his actual birthday, but I always feel like he gets the raw end of the deal.  He's much more thoughtful (and much less cheap) than me.  I'm a total tight wad and I'm afraid I always will be.  Sorry Eric.

We did purchase something recently though that made the cheap-o in me freak out...here she is...

It's not totally official yet, but we are thrilled!
