Happy Birthday Joel!

After spending Thursday and Friday with the kids, we sent them to Aunt Abby's house Saturday for a sleepover and Joel and I headed to the Ballantyne Hotel for some R&R and to celebrate Joel's birthday. The weather was beautiful and we checked in after lunch and spent the afternoon by the pool and watching the golfers and then had a fabulous three hour dinner on the terrace overlooking the golf course. Sunday morning we had a delicious breakfast at the hotel restaurant before heading home to continue the birthday celebration with the kids and Mort & Mary. The girls helped me make a yummy chocolate fudge cake which was devoured in remarkably short order! It was a great four day weekend and a great birthday celebration! Happy birthday Joel!!!
