We did presents, hit up Birthday Dinner at the local OG, looked at this amazing neighborhood's Christmas lights and then went back home for birthday cake. Kids did really well, so we actually enjoyed our family dinner eating out.
Pictures do not do this neighborhood justice. It is DECKED OUT. To the point that Bryan and I wonder if people have to sign something when they move in to this particular neighborhood. People park their cars and stroll the sidewalks (or drive, as we so lazily did). Many people are in their driveways with a fire pit going. There is even a "hot cocoa van" that sets up shop. It feels like you're stepping back in time (or out of California-jab, jab) with all of the friendliness.
The kids were extremely eager to help me make the birthday cake.
I thought the cake was fitting for my extremely outdoorsy husband.
Thank you Pinterest.
The next night we "set up" (plugged in) the fire pit and enjoyed our dinner outside.
That fire pit is awesome!
