Actual Birthday

Although several of us in these photos did not feel well at all, we still attempted to have some fun on my birthday. We really succeeded in having fun, we really missed Tom though as he didn't dare leave home that day. Mom and Dad came over from Spokane to help us celebrate this year. Our morning was spent in Ballard eating a really yummy breakfast at Portage Bay and then heading to Yulefest at the Nordic Museum. 

 We found a little cove where a small band played the guitar and sang a few songs for us. All of us really enjoyed this break. I believe Charlie will be in a band someday with all the interest he shows in music. He certainly inherited the love of music.

 We ended the evening at a local pizza joint in Tacoma to celebrate with the Rue family. The kids were able to make their own pizzas!
