The big 30!

Saturday January 23rd,  I had everyone come to my house for dinner. The house was filled with loved ones which included; Mom and Dad, Brian and Chloe, The Norcross clan, Britnie and Spencer.
We kept the tradition alive and  had Grandma Von's  bean soup (made by mom) and Grandma Von's rolls (made by me) for the people who don’t like beans they had Brazilian Pork and rice. For Dessert I made Grandma Jeans Chocolate brownies with ice cream.

Monday January 25th, My Birthday; we started the day off right with Dave taking the day off. We begin our day with Breakfast at Kneaders for French Toast with Strawberries for me, big Cinnamon Roll for Ryker, and Ham and Cheese croissant for Dave.

At 10:30 am we went to Ryker’s first swim lessons. He did an excellent job listening to his teacher and trying his best. I couldn’t stop smiling I am so proud of my little guy willing to try new things. 

At 11:15 am we drove up to Solder Hollow in Midway to go tubing for 2 hours. The hill was extremely foggy and actually warmer then we anticipated. We laughed, rode the rope line and went down the hill a lot!

At 2pm we were cold, tired and ready for food. We drove into town and ate at Café Galleria for pizza, pop, and hot chocolate.

Showing Dave his awesome people drawings.

At 3pm we went back to Solider Hollow to the Ice Caves. Ryker was super excited and runs through the first tunnel and yells, “I am brave, I am going in!” We were literally running trying to keep up with him for a good 45 minutes. 




After an hour we drove home and rested for an hour or so before heading to Macaroni Grill. We enjoyed rosemary bread and olive oil/balsamic dip,  Butternut Asiago Tortellaci for me, Camela’s Chicken for Dave, and Mac and Cheese for Ryker. For dessert we ate the most dreamy Lemon Passion Cake. It was the perfect dessert to a perfect Birthday.

This is by far the one of the best birthdays. I absolutely loved spending it with all the people I love, but spending all day with my handsome husband, and sweetest boy I couldn’t have asked for anything more that day. Bring it on 30!
