Somebody Turned 45

We got to celebrate Todd's birthday with

his family last weekend.

As usual, we met at Todd's dad's house,

and his mother cooked dinner and made

birthday cake/pie.

It's been a while since the family got together,

so it was nice to be able to catch up with everyone,

and just a bonus that we got to celebrate Todd's birthday.

Anne and Dennis made tacos for dinner,

and they were delicious!

(Did you notice I remembered to take

pics of dinner this time?)

After dinner, it was time to eat cake and open presents.

Anne made homemade German Chocolate Cake

and a strawberry pie.

I think I could have eaten the cake all by myself.

Like always, Todd was spoiled.

But this year his parents bought him

Anson Belts.

I hadn't heard of them before,

but Todd was super excited because he had

planned on buying them for himself at some point.

What's so special about the belts?

They have microadjustability.

With normal belts, you have holes that get stretched out

and over time the belt no longer fits correctly.

The Anson Belt allows you to adjust your belt

within a quarter of an inch, and there are no holes

to stretch because the buckle ratchets close.

They truly are cool.

We didn't get to spend much time together

because almost everyone had to either work

or had something planned the next day,

but it was so nice spending time with family.
