Rick's Birthday

October 2, 20009---The kids were super excited to have a "party" for Rick's birthday!

They picked out his gifts---Anna Catherine chose for her dad a fishing pole, fishing net, lures, running shoes, and a new book, "Off the Beaten Path". Jackson wanted him to have fancy clothes but we told dad he could pick those out himself.

Chloe wanted to give the "Danger Mouse" dvd as her gift so we cheated and checked it out from the library. I think Rick will understand that there was no reason to purchase it.

Rick chose to eat at Nagoya for his birthday dinner. It's always a family favorite.

The kids enjoy the chef's show and the food is always delicious!!

Jackson always eats his salad with chopsticks. He's pretty good at it too.

Chloe even gave the chopsticks a try...but she tried them with her soup.

Not a good combination.

Afterwards, we enjoyed ice cream cake at home.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL HUSBAND!
