Sean's Birthday BBQ

Sean's birthday was a two-parter this year... We celebrated a day early with some of Sean's family (his Dad, Lynnie, Cassie, Grandma, Aunt Shari and Uncle Monty) and some of my family (my Mom, Dad and Lizzy) by having a BBQ at my parents' house. It was so fun to have everyone all together and great for Ethan to spend time with his Nana, Papa and Auntie Cassie since he doesn't get to see them too often. There was lots of catching up and laughing and enjoying the sunshine. Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Chuck came by towards the end and brought some marionberry pies to go along with the from-scratch chocolate cake with chocolate frosting that Sean had requested...

After cake and presents, we had to say goodbye to everyone because, unfortunately, Sean had to be back at work the next day. It was a very quick visit, but still great to see some of our family!

Monday, Sean's actual birthday, he had to work most of the day, but Ethan and I surprised him with a visit at work and freshly baked cookies for him and the other staff and students. I also made Sean this birthday banner...

Look closely... Under each letter there is also the braille dot translation, though the dots are not raised like true braille. Just a little shout-out to Sean's line of work!

A couple months overdue (on the blog) but Happy Birthday to the love of my life!!
