CD's birthday

CD's birthday happened while we were down in the Bay area, so we decided to postpone celebrations for a week.

He received a great gift from Paige and Dave: a beautiful, light weight canoe! It is awesome!
Here it is all ready to go paddling!



CD also got some healthy blueberry and strawberry plants for the new planters he built.

This should finally dispel the myth that I can actually garden. I feel like for a few years now I've been telling myself that I can garden, but every season is the same: CD is always more attentive about watering and taking care of our outdoor plants. Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to give up- but credit should be given where it's due! He's the gardener and I hope to be the harvester of those berries!

Holly and I racked our brains for a good theme and we decided to go with "Squares" aka, the Nerd Party. CD had turned 36 which is a square of 6 (6x6=36) and being the math geeks, we rolled with it and so did CD! We played some games, grilled some food and had a great time!

What a square! (or a hipster?)



this year, I went with carrot cake with cream cheese frosting
