My husband has turned 39 years old today & we all decided to brave the crowds & celebrate this occasion at the Ruby's Diner at the Redmond Town Center. Ruby's Diner is a 1940's style restaurant with a traditional American menu. Bright red vinyl booths, white Formica tables, soda fountains, replicas of 1940s cars & bicycles - you get the picture. Although the cholesterol-laden buttered fried sandwiches & thick milkshakes left me cold, the real reason we went there was to show kids the train that goes round & round overhead. Sophia was thoroughly fascinated & even let us finish dinner. Every time she tried to climb out of her high chair, we just pointed to the train. A bowl of fruit & an occasional french fry also helped to keep her occupied.
Once home, Gerritt helped Daddy to open his surprise birthday present - a Keurig coffee maker. I got so tired of reading my Facebook buddies' comments about how great it was, I bought one to try for our family. Gerritt was also there to assist Daddy with blowing out the birthday candles & to sing the happy birthday song. Exhausted by the end of the evening (it was a Monday after all), we've gifted ourselves with going to bed early. The big 4-0 next year!
