My Birthday

Another year has come and gone and I am spending my last year in my twenties. I have decided to make it a really good year since I will be referring to the age of 29 for the rest of my life as most people do. Every year my family tries to remember what age I am turning... you know you are getting old when your parents have a hard time getting it right. This year Dad got it right and mom didn't but last year it was the other way around, ha ha. I thought I was too old to get all the candles on my cake but I guess not :)

I didn't do a good job documenting all the events with photos but I have a few to post. Friday was my birthday and Hailey doesn't have school that day. After giving Charlie a very hard time for going to work and not staying home for my birthday she set out in the kitchen to try and find something special for me for breakfast since her Dad wasn't helping out as she thought he should. She ended up with hot chocolate, mugs and marshmallows on the counter so I made us some hot chocolate, toast and bananas. Afterward Hailey gave me a pedicure and a manicure.

Then we went to a friends house for lunch and when we got home Charlie was home from work early. We opened a few presents and then went out to Carrabba's for dinner. The dinner wasn't as enjoyable with kids around but we had a nice time eating outside.

About to open my big gift...new running shoes

Here I am opening my present from Hailey. She gave me 3 pictures she drew and a cabbage patch doll that I have had since I was 8 years old :)

The next day was Saturday and that's when Charlie pulled all the surprises out of his hat. He surprised me with a pedicure at a salon and then his mom and brother came over to babysit so we could go on a date. Much to my surprise it was an overnight date at a hotel on the beach. At first I was unsure about leaving Aubrey overnight because she had 4 teeth coming in and had been waking up at night but I decided not to worry about it and have a good time. Every time I worry about something it always ends up turning out fine and that is how it turned out, she didn't even wake up that night. It turned out to be a really fun birthday weekend!

I got another singing balloon this year, seems to be a tradition Hailey has instituted.

Aubrey LOVED the singing balloon she gets so excited when she sees it and bounces up and down.

We didn't get a good shot from our photographer this time around but here is the man that treats me like a princess.
