Rob's Birthday

Last Tuesday, Rob turned 30, so we made him a special dinner (beef stroganoff) and had cake for dessert. Ella gave him a homemade card and a wooden race car that they can paint and assemble together.

On Thursday, he took the day off for us to spend together as a family and to come to Ella's gymnastics' class. After class, we went to visit Granny at her apartment (or as Ella calls it, her "bee-partment").

She said, "Dear Daddy, Happy Birthday. Wish you can come to my gymnastics class on Thursday. Love, Ella and Pinkie"
