Gabe and Erik's Birthday

As always, we end the month of March celebrating Gabe and Erik's birthdays! Erik wanted to order take-out (eating in wasn't an option) from Arrowhead grill, they had a great deal going on--$30 for meat, salad, potatoes, and their delicious butter cake. I ordered the prime rib and Erik ordered the steak fillet. Yum! The only thing I didn't care for was their "Cesar" dressing- it didn't taste like Cesar dressing it all to me, it tasted like Dijon mustard mixed with mayonnaise. Also, the food wasn't has hot as we would like (because it was pickup and 20 min away) otherwise, the dinner was fantastic! 

Erik picked out a smoker and wood chips (to go with the smoker) that he wanted, and I ordered it but it came after his birthday so I don't have any pictures of him opening it. We weren't planning on have a friends party for Gabe because he's 11 now and a little too old for those, but we wouldn't have been "allowed" to even if we wanted to, because of Covid-19. Grandma had met her quota for visiting us that month, so it was just us for their birthdays. But she did send Gabe a gift--Mario Kart figurines that he was excited to open! Gabe also got a long-awaited Amazon tablet from Erik and I. Poor Erik didn't get to open any gifts as his smoker had not come, though he did get a card with a bookmark in it from Grandma (not his, the kids), so I guess that counts for something. When it was time for cake, Gabe was upset, something about him not getting his tablet to work the way he wanted it to. Silly Gabe. Here are the pictures:

I made a chocolate cake with some homemade, piped frosting. And sprinkles. 

I could have sworn I got a video of us singing happy birthday, but I guess I had the photo button in instead? You can see that poor Gabe is upset.
