Happy Birthday Dave!!

We celebrated Dave's birthday yesterday and since we were away last week I didn't get around to posting my Dave appreciation post until today.  

Dave had a great year, he joined a golf club which was really the highlight and enjoyed meeting new people and getting out for several rounds of golf.  He did well at work, managing his successful team, and earned the trip to Hawaii, even though it had to be cancelled due to Omicron, but it was still earned!  He strives for personal bests on the Peloton and got into doing more strength classes this year too.  He perfected his pizza dough recipe and brings the fun to everything he does.  His grass in the backyard was his only downfall but he's raring to try it again this year.  He wouldn't be a good Dad unless he had his yard to work on, haha!

Happy 41st Birthday Dave! We love you!
