Happy Birthday, Love!

Happy Birthday, Daddy Monkey! : )

Eric decided he wanted a King Crab Leg dinner for his birthday, but the rest of the monkey house doesn't do seafood so he bought himself a let and two claws to cook here at home (and not subject the rest of us to a restaurant).

Check out these massive things! I guess that's why they're called KING crabs! HA, HA!



Our sweet little Amanda got a gold star for trying something new... she just didn't care for the crab legs. That's okay, honey. It's an expensive food that I'd prefer you didn't develop a taste for.

Such a silly monkey!
There was a whole lot of meat in these babies and Amanda and I thoroughly enjoyed watching Eric eat (and open) his dinner.
After dinner we sang him Happy Birthday and enjoyed a Banana Cream Pie.

We also went on a family bike ride through some neighborhoods. It was a wonderful, relaxing birthday (after Eric did the Birthday Gift Scavenger Hunt the kids made... their clues weren't so good!) : )

  2. That's my boy! He always did like those crab legs.
    I agree with Amanda though; crab legs are not on my top 10 list either.

    Birthdays with your family must be the best. Whenever one of you has a birthday it's like the whole family gets to have a fun day.
    So . . I hope everyone had a Happy Birthday!!

    Love and Hugs to all -
