Pretty Easy 30!

garran's 30th birthday was a pretty laid back day. we woke up and had breakfast. then everyone got dressed and we headed out to spend some time together as a family. we spent a good portion of the morning out just hanging out together and then came home. by the time we got home we played outside and just relaxed. after a while garran decided to start the grill. he wanted to grill some bbq chicken for his birthday. IT WAS AWESOME!!right now we are just using this little portable grill, but are hoping to upgrade in the future!! the chicken came out amazing. it was such a good dinner.
the kids had made cards and we made a sign that we hung up in the house. i missed taking pictures of Garran opening his presents. He had said that he really wanted some shorts. So that is what he got!! I think he was pretty happy.
this year dessert was pretty laid back. the original plan was to make pineapple upside down cake. however, we realized right before we started, i realized that we had no brown sugar. so garran said we should just make it another night and stick with something easy. it was just that kind of day. so this is what I came up with instead.taa daa! nothing special, but it was yummy. the strawberries were really good. the kids were excited about the chocolate!! Anyways, I am glad that we got to spend the day together as a family. Thanks to the people that remembered to call and wish Garran a Happy 30th!!
