30

Bert turned 30 on November 28th.  The big 3-0.  I don't turn 30 for 4 more months, and I've been sure to remind him of that.:)  He doesn't seem to mind.  He said something about being older and wiser....whatever...

We celebrated his birthday with my family when we were there over Thanksgiving weekend.  Mom cooked one of his favorite cakes.  The Thompson's (my uncle and his family) had fun bringing him a big balloon in the shape of a butterfly and a strong smelling bar of soap named "Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap."  We had a fun night with family!:)

Bert's actual birthday fell on a Wednesday, so we decided it would be fun to celebrate with the youth at church!  One of the families in our group bought him this cake and their son came up with the idea to put "Happy Bert-Day" on the cake! Too funny! All the students enjoyed the cake and we surprised Bert!  

On Thursday night (the day after his birthday) he and I went out on a birthday date night.  Paul and Kristen offered to keep the girls for us.  We went to see the movie "Lincoln" (which we both loved) and then headed over to Olive Garden.  We had a gift card for our Olive Garden meal, which we all know makes the food even better!  We had such a fun night celebrating with just the two of us.  Thank you so much to Paul, Kristin, Nate and Caroline for keeping the girls for us!  

Happy birthday to my hubby and best friend.  I am so thankful for you!
