Happy Birthday Dad!

Earlier this week the sun was out, the neighborhood kids took full advantage of the weather after school got out....

Bradley - the strong man!

Went out for dinner to celebrate dad's birthday and stopped by the art museum for the degas exhibit.  It was a special night because the Toledo ballet was practicing too!  Lots of inspired little dancers were watching.

Dad requested pie, vanilla peanut butter from schmuckers!

Candles by the girls.

Make a wish!

We love you dad!!
