Happy 40th birthday, Ben!

Today is Ben's 40th birthday! We were supposed to celebrate with a big family birthday party at Salaam, but unfortunately we are still in COVID-19 quarantine life. We still found plenty of ways to celebrate!

The cherry trees are blooming and today was a beautiful, sunny day. We took Felix down to the trees and had a picnic!



We got carry out from Bagel Street Deli. This is the Pretzel Carruso.



Wendy's Way.



Reuben.



The bagels were delicious, and it was nice to get some fresh air and enjoy the sunshine!











Little Kate dropped off a birthday surprise! She baked these sea salt chocolate chunk cookies for Ben.



We had a socially-distanced happy hour Zoom call with lots of friends and family! It was nice to see everyone!



Ben requested Philly cheesesteak skillet for his birthday dinner. Yum!! Local flank steak with mushrooms and provolone.



And Smitten Kitchen's Sour Cream-Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting and Chocolate-Peanut Butter Glaze for an epic birthday treat worthy of a fortieth birthday.



That right there is forty candles, ladies and gentlemen!



With coffee ice cream. Yum!! Happy birthday, Ben! Welcome to the forties club!
