Happy Birthday Bill!! We love you so much!!

Bill turned 40 yesterday! Abbey and I made a cake....we even broke out the Wilton Cake Decorating Kit. Mekedes got him a card...she called a taxi to take her to the mall to buy him a birthday card. She has a big heart.

We went out to dinner at a Korean/Japanese restaurant. Will was so glad to get sushi. He is our only kid that loves good food. Cole had bul go gi (thinly sliced flank steak, marinated and grilled or cooked in a fry pan) and he loved it. Bill's mom always makes this for him when we visit her. I had bi bim bop, which is rice with vegetables and a fried egg on top. I am not sure what Bill got, it was boiling, bubbling soup with dumplings (mondu) in it. We usually find ourselves going to more kid friendly restaurants, but they all seemed to enjoy their meal last night.

Afterward, we came home and had yummy birthday cake. Sweet and simple. We don't always do a lot on birthdays, but I can't let them go by without a cake.
