Like I said in the invitation to Leif’s birthday party – “a lot of sweat and tears went into it but now we get to party on it!” We had about 25 people over for Leif’s birthday on Saturday. The weather cooperated and we spent most of the night out on our new deck which I admire every time I step onto it. Leif did an absolutely AMAZING job and our view is incredible. His birthday party was one of the most fun I can remember – good friends, Ted’s tacos (which were a HUGE hit), lots of laughs and little ones running every which way. We both went to bed feeling so incredibly blessed to have each other, our kids, our family, our friends and our home.

Church the next morning was not easy – both Leif and I might have had a little too much fun the night before! After church, Ted and Stephanie came in to babysit and Leif and I went out for some much desired alone time. We got massages, hit up happy hour at Trellis and then saw a movie. We had planned on after movie drinks and dessert but were absolutely exhausted!
