Daddy's Birthday Weekend

Daddy had a pretty awesome birthday. On Friday, Grandma and Engen took us to Kobe's for dinner. I like that restaurant because they have a fish pond and really good rice. I also like to watch the chef do tricks with his utensils. Our chef, this time, was "Mikey Boy - the caucasian sensation." He was pretty good.

On Saturday, I woke up and made everyone coffee, carmel rolls and eggs. After breakfast, Grandma and Engen left for Minneapolis and we got ready to go to Cavalier. The drive there was kind of boring, so Benny and I decided to take a nap. When we finally arrived at Grandma Linda and Grandpa Ricky's house, we had a great time. We ate lunch, played, had some cookies, took a bath, and then played some more. After all of that, it was time to go home.

Sunday was daddy's birthday, so we wanted it to be really special for him. First, we made him breakfast in bed. Next, we sang "Happy Birthday" and let him open his gifts. Then, we took him to the circus. Daddy was getting kind of tired (he is getting older you know), so mommy, Ben and I walked to the playground while dad took a little nap. When we got home, daddy was awake. We all played outside for awhile and then enjoyed some delicious Applebee's to go.

Ben REALLY liked to pour the water himself. He didn't even care if he had a cup to pour it into.
