Happy Birthday Reed!

On Friday night we went out to eat at the Stockfeeder's Club. Its a restaurant in a nearby town. We got a coupon in the mail for $18 off a menu item so Reed ordered salmon and I ordered a rib eye steak, then we shared them. It was very good, especially the steak. Then we went out for ice cream. The next day one of the guys that Reed works with invited us to a bar-b-que. We had a lot of fun. The two guys that Reed works with have 2-year-olds as well and Alan had a blast. His co-workers aren't members of the Church so we weren't sure what to expect but they didn't drink much, and they kept their swearing to a minimum. Also, when we were looking for a movie to watch they were careful to only suggest movies that were clean. It was very nice to go out and spend time with friends.

The next day we had church. When we came home I made brownies for Reed's birthday dessert (per his request). Reed also suggested we put cherry pie topping and ice cream on the brownies. It was very tasty.
Alan was very excited to help Daddy blow out the candles.
Very fun!!! Thanks for all the birthday calls.
