My birthday was last Thursday and I turned 24. Crazy how fast time is passing!! I honestly continued to forget that my birthday was coming up. I guess as a mom there are just too many other important things to worry about, and my birthday is no longer a big deal to me. Cole kept asking what I wanted to do, or if I wanted to get together with friends, but these days it all just seems like more work then it is worth. I know, i sound like a downer! The good news is that my Aunt Sarah and Uncle Jim came into town to celebrate with us. My Aunt Sarah and I have the same birthday so we like to try and do something to celebrate together. Last year I visited her in New Mexico, so this year she came here. They got into town on our birthday and my Uncle Jim was nice enough to make a big birthday dinner for us. It was nice staying in because that way we could put Tavian down for bed. He made muscles on linguine...i know, kind of crazy! I wasn't initially thrilled with the idea because the whole "muscles" thing grossed me out, but they weren't half bad and I got to try something new! It was a beautiful dinner with great company and we ate out on our patio with beautiful weather. Overall, pretty darn wonderful!
The next night we had my dad and my sister and her family over for dinner, partly for the birthdays, but more so they could visit with my aunt and uncle while they were in town. It was another great evening. I got some lovely gifts as well. Beautiful lace cami tank tops, gift certificate to panera and PF Changs, a candle, a book that I can't wait to read, some money, and my lovely husband got me a jaw bone blue tooth head set and another charm for my necklace. The charm has his name on it! Great gifts!
We had so much fun with my Aunt and Uncle while they were here and I'm so happy that Tavian got to spend more time with them. My Aunt Sarah is like a fill in Grandma but she hadn't seen Tavian since he was two weeks old. She was loving it...as was he!!
Thank you all for the birthday wishes and for making me feel special. Even if I forgot it was my birthday, it was nice to know my friends and family didn't! :)
Playing on the quilt that Aunt Sarah made for him!
Rocking like they did when he was just two weeks old
Most of the pictures were taken on my Aunt's camera...I wish I would have taken more on mine!
