Celebrating my Sweetheart's Birthday!!

Wow!!  A lot happening in the last week that I need to get everyone caught up on… mostly surrounding hubby's birthday (last Thursday)…

Jeff's brother surprised him with tickets to a Twins game, very nice seats in the Legends Club area.


As you can see we had a great view...


Yep, that's my happy hubby!!


When we got home there was a little cake (my S'mores Cake for 2) waiting for him… but he'd eaten too much "fun stuff" at the game, so we sang "Happy Birthday" & saved the cake for another night :)


The next night (Friday)… Jeff likes his birthday present…


Yep, he put it to use on his cake...


He toasted up his marshmallows, after all it can't be s'mores without toasting the marshmallows...


We dug in… YUM!!


The day after that (Saturday)… we were off to a local park for the Arden Hills Fall Festival.  The band Jeff plays in had a concert there that evening… the band set up in a parking lot…

More pictures from that day...


Various booths...


Some food vendors...


All by the side of a pretty lake...




We ran into pastor John, he lives right in the area… his daughter is the one in the doorway of the Fire Truck.


Horse cart rides...


Little petting zoo was set up...






This sweet dog was on hand for the concert...


Merle directs the band, the band played until the fireworks started just after dark.


The next day (Sunday) we met my son Tim & daughter-in-law Marta for a multiple birthday celebration at Benihana's.  Belated birthdays for Marta & Jeff, early for me.


Never can get Jeff to keep a straight face, Marta took this picture for me… now I know why she was laughing… (sigh)...


Our cook impressed us with his knife skills...


Lots of tasty tidbits...


I tried the Mango Shrimp...


The final birthday gift for hubby was a dinner at Manny's Steakhouse in Minneapolis on Monday… lets just say this isn't a Weight Watchers friendly venue…   Jeff is showing off his Bacon Appetizer…


He also enjoyed a baked potato, a beautiful bone-in rib-eye steak, a couple beers, and some bread pudding… he's a very happy hubby!!

Now we're gearing up for my birthday next week… and its a big one!!
