Another year older

Galen's birthday was last week. Because a) Shanna was out of town, and b) it was a weekday, the birthday itself was only a mellow celebration. He got a few small gifts, heard the ubiquitous birthday song, and he got to pick a dinner local, Famous Dave's.


We had a real birthday party Saturday. Several parents braved ten inches of new snow to deliver their children and for that we are appreciative, and so was Galen. It was kept short & sweet. Time enough to play build a tower with marshmallows and sting on a spoon, eat some cake-n-ice cream, and open presents.


We believe a good time was had by all. The kids definitely seemed a bit more amped up at departure time than upon arrival. And for Galen, it was the birthday of Legos.
