Mom got dad some baguettes from Upper Crust Bakery:
And his favorite cheese, Roquefort!:
It’s only a little stinky Luna:
Mom also got him a yummy eclair, one of dad’s favorite pastries from Upper Crust too:
Dad’s parents sent him a card for…
Hanukkah (?)
In the letter she explains that she has a lot of cars she is using up:
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Beck!
We will more fully celebrate both Dad and Lizzy’s birthdays on Saturday!

Rachel made a cookie cake for Lizzy’s birthday!
Mom and Dad made Pizzelles:
They each man a pizzelle maker and it goes pretty fast but is still very time consuming:
For dinner we all went out to the Japanese Steakhouse for the birthday celebrations:
Then we went to go see a ginormous Christmas light display at a house not far from our home. It took up an entire corner lot:
Then we went home and gave birthday cards and gifts to Dad and Lizzy:
What did it say?:
Happy Birthday Dad from Lizzy:
Now the fun of reading Lizzy’s iconic cards:
We asked Dad what he wanted for his birthday and he wanted experiences gifts this year:
From Rachel to Dad:
Mom’s turn:
Dad’s favorite chocolate covered orange slices:
Miss Kitty wants a birthday gift too:
Time to celebrate Lizzy’s 19th birthday!
Lizzy needed a little help getting this one open:
Best friend sisters:
Now from Mom and Dad:
A phone case:
An IPhone!
The case fits perfectly!
Happy Birthday Dad and Lizzy:
They both blew out a candle:
Happy Birthdays, we love you both so much!
