Dave Birthday Details

I realized I didn't really say anything about what we did to celebrate Dave's birthday or explain the presents at all. For those of you interested...

Friday night, I surprised Dave by getting a babysitter so we could go out. We went to the new-ish Harley Davidson store in Lindon, where they have a huge showroom, shop, and restaurant. Unfortunately the showroom was closed, but there were huge windows in the restaurant that let us look into the shop and showroom while we ate. The restaurant is called Marley's and they sell gourmet sliders (small hamburgers/sandwichs). Dave got the Filet Mignon slider and I got the hamburger with bleu cheese and bacon. Yum! The food was a little pricey, but SO YUMMY. It definitely was a treat and a good find.

After dinner we headed over to Home Depot where Dave bought his long-awaited birthday present. He has been saving Home Depot gift cards for a while now, and got a few for his birthday from Mom/Dad and Mom/Dad-inlaw, and so he was able to go and buy his socket/ratchet set - FINALLY. He is so excited about it. Thanks Moms & Dads for making his birthday dream come true! :)

We then went to Sub-Zero ice cream (mostly for me) for some dessert. Again, SO YUMMY! We went home after that and prepped for Valentine's Day.

Saturday we mostly just relaxed at home. We took a trip to IKEA for lunch and to buy some heart-shaped ice cube trays. I made these for the girls for Valentine's Day, but ruined the trays (that I borrowed from a friend) in the process so we had to replace them. Ooops! But it was a fun outing.

That night Katie delivered Valentine's to her friends in the neighborhood. We then had Dave's birthday dinner (lasagna), cupcakes, and Dave opened his other long-awaited present, a computer mouse. You can tell in the picture how excited (and surprised) he was about that gift.

So, those are the details. It was a fun weekend. And it was a bonus having Dave home on Monday too for President's Day. We love having Dad home!
