Derek's Birthday Weekend - Part 3

The process of turning 40 just goes on... and on... and on!

Derek kept reminding us that he wasn't actually 40 until 9:41 a.m. on Sunday, November 9th.

So we did our best to mark that exact historic moment in time by presenting him with a cake and balloons during our 9:30 a.m. church service!
o
Jim and Grammie set things up in the breezeway.
o
Derek emerges from the church service and talks to Richard and Max...

o
Surprise!!

o
Officially 40.

o
The Ageless Wonder... always a good sport!
o
Later, we were off to Anaheim, where we enjoyed hearty meal at Claim Jumper.
o
A fitting end to an eventful day.

o
Stay tuned for the final installment of Derek's Birthday Weekend, featuring our visit to Disneyland!
