That is not in reference to President Trumps second term. That is in reference to Ryan’s age he turned this year. We did a pretty good job celebrating him I think! For his birthday dinner he requested that Emilee make him spaghetti and meatballs-with love. She did. I contributed some garlic cheese bread and his mom recipe for chocolate cake. It was the same weekend as Father’s Day so Emilee gave him his traditional new pajama pants for Fathers Day along with a collection of Bluey paraphernalia to add to the Bluey pajama pants she gave him for Christmas. It is kind of a joke in the family. Emilee loves Bluey (a little kid cartoon) and we tease her about it-mostly Matthew and Dad. And she gives them Bluey clothing or toys in return. She gave dad a stuffed animal, a shirt, and a small toy car with Bluey in it for his work desk. She also thought it would be funny to take the center of his birthday cake out and make him think she ate it.


We also went out with some friends for his birthday. There is a 70’s dance club Ryan and his friend have been wanting to go to. Ryan likes to dress the part and his friend likes to dance. His wife likes to dress the part and I like to dance so we make a pretty good team. We all dressed up and went to a fancy dinner before. There were a few people at the restaurant that were in their 20/30’s in the 70’s that were thrilled with our outfits. One lady gave us dance tips and her friends had to drag her away when they left because she wanted to join us. LOL. It was a really fun night, the place was lot of fun, they played music from 70’s 80’s and 90’s and at one point they play the Car Wash song and they have an actual carwash brush that spins and fills the whole dance floor with bubble foam. We danced until the the guys feet hurt so bad they couldn’t dance anymore. Notice in the picture they both wore platform shoes.
