{Happy Birthday Daddy!}

It certainly was a busy weekend for the Seidel family.  Friday night Bob and I went out to celebrate some of our friends birthdays.  We had our first non-relative come and babysit for Anna.  Bob and I were very happy that both Anna and Emily had a great time together and all went well.  It was great to be able to get out for a few hours and know that Anna was in very capable hands and having fun.  Saturday morning we celebrated our friends little girls first birthday, the second of four 1st birthday parties we have this spring.  (Remember the year of weddings?  It is now the year of 1st birthdays!)  It was a great party and we had fun helping sweet Ava celebrate her big day!  Saturday night Anna had a sleep over at Grandma and Grandpa Seidels and Bob and I had an evening to ourselves.  We celebrated Bob's birthday with dinner at Chives, a favorite restaurant of ours, and then stopped at wine bar for a glass (or two!) of wine before heading home.  Our dinner was absolutely amazing, and it felt so good to get out and be an adult again!  After a lazy Sunday morning we continued the celebration by going out to brunch with our parents and then came back to our house to enjoy the 75 degree weather and sun - it was fabulous!  A beautiful afternoon led to grilling out for dinner, cake, and present opening.

Happy Birthday to Daddy!

I like to suck on my toes!

Unfortunately, a cold front moved through in the evening, producing some very intense thunderstorms and tornadoes.  No sooner did we get Anna down for the night and the tornado sirens went off, so down to the basement we went.  I am happy to report we had no major damage and survived the storm just fine, but it certainly added some excitement to an already busy and exciting weekend! 

I just want to give a quick shout out to Bob - a very happy birthday sweetie!  Anna and I were so excited to celebrate with you this weekend!  We love you to pieces and are so thankful for all you do for us!   LOVE YOU!



Anna was more than happy to help daddy open his gifts!
