Stuart wanted to be low key for this special birthday and just the two of us spending the day together.  We decided to go shopping at Gilroy.  We took our time, walked through many stores and we bought quite a few things for ourselves.  Before we headed home, we even did some grocery shopping as well.  We walked again to pick the boys up from school.  We finally rested a bit before heading out to dinner.  By then, we had already accumulated 16,000 steps. 

    At one of Stuart’s favorite local places, we had a nice dinner and Stuart enjoyed some crafted beers.  Afterward, we also walked around the mall and bought some more things before we headed home.  We finally presented the birthday gifts to Stuart by then and had our favorite cake to wrap up this day for Stuart.  I really enjoyed the day off with Stuart, and I think he had a good day as well.

     The boys and I drew birthday cards for Stuart.  I made mine first; Connor liked it and initially wanted to copy my card.  But later he added on his own things and it turned out more exciting than mine.  Logan quickly looked at ours, and made his own with some similarities.  I really liked their creations and liked that we all had the same theme.
