Svea was so excited about the jelly beans for Nate that she spoiled the surprise! Well, a huge jar of them is very exciting!
Viggo's card reads, "Dear Viggo, For Dad. Thes coins r for u to spend." Isn't that sweet?
Don't spend it all in one place!
We ventured into Amish country . . .
We stopped at an Amish farm to get some pumpkins. There was a little box to put money in; payment was via the honor system. Although I did see the farmer and said thank you. We got two pumpkins for $3. (The nicer ones were $2, so we got a nice one and one only a mother could love.)It was fun driving through Lancaster County and even though it was raining we saw plenty of livestock out and about. Viggo said the sheep were his favorite: "I like their big bottoms!" (Big-bottomed sheep not pictured.)
Here we are at our dinner destination, Shady Maple. I get such a kick out of this place!
They had pumpkins there too, but they were 3/$10. What a rip-off! :)
Svea had to smell them.
Standing in line to be seated.
Svea is wrinkling up her nose at something, but it wasn't the food. She ate her weight in grape tomatoes.
Elin woke up and was being extra cute for Nate's birthday :)
In honor of my dad, I took a picture of my food. Carrots, potatoes, stuffing, raspberry bread, a Swiss Mocha cappuccino, and a big pile of roast beef.
Viggo and his pile of ice cream. I'm not quite sure why it is glowing in this picture. He put oreos, chocolate chips, little chocolates, whipped cream and two cherries on top.
There it is! Oh, and marshmallow topping - lots of it!
Svea takes a big bite of ice cream.
After Nate opened his presents he watched the St. Cloud State hockey game. Elin cheered on the Huskies too.

After this I had salmon and a salad.

We were so full we decided to save Nate's birthday dessert for the next day. Stay tuned for that!
I'm so glad Nate had a great birthday! You always know how to celebrate with gusto. Viggo is such a generous little man - adorable (:
