Our favorite Jeffrey!

Monday the 14th was Jeff's 28th birthday (- we'll be the same age for a few months!) We were very lucky to have leap year be this year, so his birthday skipped over being on Mother's day.  We made a baked French Toast, gave dad his gifts (clothes as requested, video games from the girls - NCAA football and Kung Fu Panda - and a golf punch pass) and then let dad try out his new goodies before heading out for lunch. 
He chose to go somewhere kid-friendly so dining out would be an enjoyable experience, and we had McD's.  We then dropped off the kids with grandma and went for a round of golf.  For probably the first time, he really killed me! I can usually hold my own.  (I blame it on the pregnancy and 2 year hiatus from golf.)
We went from there to see Avengers (great) and then had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory in the new City Creek Center (with which, Jeff is very impressed.)  We picked up the kiddos (freshly bathed and jammied by grandma, woohoo!) who fell asleep on the way home.  That actually allowed us to end the evening with some grown up time, instead of each of us just falling into bed dead tired at different times.  Seemed like Jeff enjoyed the day, and I hope so - he sure deserves it!
