Ben had his last birthday in his twenties on Friday. His cousin Lani came over to watch Sam so that we could have a night on the town. Sam wanted to join us, and even got all dressed up for the occasion, but we told him he had to stay home.

We went out for a lovely dinner in DC complete with appetizers, salad, pasta, fish, dessert, and wine! It was so fun to have a fancy night out together.

When we got home, we ate the fluffy yellow layer cake I made and Ben opened his presents.

And as a special treat, Sam slept in until 8 a.m. the next morning. You’re welcome.

Thanks for babysitting, Lani. Come back any time!
