Best Birthday Ever

I had a great birthday this year thanks to Stacey and the kids. They were all so excited for me to open up their presents that they got a little pushy. Ha ha. Stacey had put a lot of effort into finding me a really cool medal and race number holder for my cycling adventures as well as making me a delicious Thai coconut curry dish.

Julia continues to amaze me with her thoughtfulness. Every year Stacey waits for the kids to fall asleep and then blows up balloons for outside their bedroom door. Julia did this for me all on her own without Stacey or me knowing. She stayed up really late, even though she wanted to go to bed, by playing a game on her computer. She then snuck downstairs and got all the supplies, blew up the balloons, and hung them above our door without anyone knowing. It will always be a special memory for me.

Chef Julia

Julia made us dinner tonight from her new cookbook! It was amazing, especially the potatoes. In case you're wondering how good they were, I don't like potatoes, but this recipe is going to be used for all future holidays and meals! Jonathan completed the meal with personalized cards for each us.
