We made dinner reservations for eight at Le Central. This worked well because Alder cozily slept in his stroller while we had a romantic dinner. We even split a nice bottle of wine (I love the bring the bottle home law in Colorado, you actually take rest home).
He got me this book
I love the stories in and the illustrations by Meilo So are gorgeous. He always tries to find gifts that will inspire me to do more art.
We are trying to get in the habit of giving each other, and Alder gifts, that have more with doing than things. The other part of my gift is a camping trip to Maine in September. We would like to get to the point where each of us gets a birthday trip as the main gift. Of course there always needs to be something to unwrap, even if it's just the map.

belated happy birthday :) i love the idea of giving gifts that have more to do with doing than possessing, if i got that right. glad you had a wonderful day. :)
What wonderful ideas - gifts about your talents and doing , birthday trips, EE Cummings Fairy Tales (Is it the one with the house that is alive? I love it) and Maine in Sept. - sigh.
