Freezin in April

The week of Dan's birthday was full of lots of fun activities! We started off the week by having all of the family over to celebrate Dan's upcoming birthday (Thurs) on Sunday Evening. It was the first time that we hosted anything at our house since Daphne was born. It was a lot of fun! Thursday night for his birthday we stayed at home and had his favorite meal, Chicken Alfredo and Daphne and I gave him his gift. He has been wanting a leather carved scripture case for YEARS. His brother brought some really neat ones home from his mission in Argentina. I have tried to contact the guy that made them to get Dan some but was never able to reach him. I finally decided to start researching other options and found this website (leatherburned.com) that uses a laser to burn images into leather. They were able to make him a custom leather scripture case with Abinadi on one side and Christ on the other. He seemed quite pleased:)

On Friday night we went to Tucanos Brazilian Grille so that Dan and Cami (our sister-in-law) could use their birthday coupons. It is Dan's favorite restaurant so he was quite excited:) Afterwards we walked for a little bit around the new City Creek Shopping Center.

The week finished off with Dan's brother, Jordan's, missionary farewell. His older brother, Spencer, came into town to spend the weekend with everyone and attend the farewell. It was a great weekend and Jordan did such an amazing job on his talk! He has grown up so much and will be a great missionary. 

Before Spencer left Utah he was able to visit Dan's work and take a tour. The picture below is of Spencer, in shorts and a t-shirt and not looking cold at all, standing in the negative 14-16 degree freezer Dan works in!

Dan's 29th Birthday week was a lot of fun. We enjoyed getting to celebrate having such a great hubby and daddy in our life!
