A two day Birthday

I know you have just been DYING to know (note the sarcasm), what I did for my birthday, right? Well here you go, this is how my two days of birthday celebration went…

I started out the day of my birthday by going to the grocery store. The kids (*cough* I) wanted to have some cupcakes, but we were out of eggs. At the store, Mandy decided she wanted to get me something for my birthday. So she picked out these beautiful flowers, which I then paid for myself. She has good taste though, don’t you think?

Then we made our cupcakes. Mandy and Dallin insisted that before we could eat them, I HAD to put a candle on one and blow it out.

Then I did a load of laundry.

Then this cute baby came walking up to me.

And I took a few minutes to kiss on him. (Dallin was my photographer)

Then I did another load of laundry.

Mandy decided that she needed to wear her bathing suit “just in case”. So I enjoyed a few minutes of laughter at the panties sticking out from beneath her suit.

Then, surprise, surprise – I did yet another load of laundry.

That evening we were supposed to go to Dallin’s soccer game to watch him play. But because of this:

It was cancelled. So instead, I watched him bounce around the room like a crazy person. This is a normal daily occurrence.

Then I made dinner, which included this yummy creamed spinach.

Nathan surprised me with some delicious chocolates, which we opened and we all enjoyed them.

Then I gave the kids their bath and sent them off to bed. Nathan and I curled up on the couch and watched two of our favorite shows, Monk and Psych.

Despite the laundry, it really was a wonderful day! But the fun didn’t end there. The next day, Nathan arranged for his mom (aka Nana) to babysit. Then he took me out for a little pampering. I convinced him to join in on it with me. We got pedicures.

And manicures. (Thanks Aunt Beck for providing the funding for this pampering :))

It was the first time I had ever had a manicure. It was nice, but the pedicures were much more enjoyable. Even Nathan agreed. He told me that he would be happy to go with me again to have a pedicure. Sounds like another date night coming up soon to me!!!

Then Nathan took me to a nice steakhouse where we enjoyed a yummy meal. It was a wonderful two days spent with the people I love most. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday!
