Happy Birthday Dave

Saturday was Dave's birthday. We woke up and I whispered to Elinor to tell him happy birthday. It was the sweetest little sleepy voice. We didn't have any set plans. I made him his favorite tofu egg sandwich and he had used his birthday gift of an ice coffee maker the night before so we could have cold brew coffee with breakfast. Dave is forever obsessed with finding cold brew coffee where ever we go. I found the Hario MCPN-14B Water Brew Coffee Pot on amazon. It was pretty basic and had good reviews. So far he has loved it.

We ran a few errands, went to the mall to check out UNIQLO again. This time we bought some things. It is going to be hard going to the mall now and not buying everything from there! So many cute clothes for all of us. It's like H&M and American Apparel but from Japan. If that makes any sense.

and we met Hello Kitty!

Later that day we met up with Pop pop,Cindy and Grandma (Cindy's mom. Elinor decided all on her own that it was grandma) for a birthday dinner at Harvest. We have never been there but heard they had veg options. It is always a struggle going out to eat with any of our family members and finding a place that has anything for us to eat besides a salad. Harvest was amazing. We all were able to get something different and even try a few appetizers. Dave had the spicy tofu stir fry, Elinor had the kids spaghetti and I had the pan seared beet steak. Everything was so good. Dave wasn't into the beet steak because he doesn't like beets but I thought it was delicious. The kids portions were huge! Elinor ate a ton and still had leftovers to bring home.

We went back to Pop pops for vegan cupcakes from Whole Foods. Then Dave and I went to see Godzilla. We both liked it even though Dave wanted to see more of Godzilla. We came back to collect a very sleepy Elinor and went home. It was such a great laid back day.
