Happy Birthday to Me!!!

I am 30! That's right, the big three-oh... so how did I spend the day? Mostly just the regular mom stuff (although I did treat my kids to happy meals because I didn't feel like cooking on my birthday) dishes, diapers, ect. But the fun started this evening when I got to dress up and go out with other grown-ups to play. Thanks to Caite and Patrick, and Jim and Terrie, for baby-sitting. (And by dress up, I mean clothes that aren't sweats or pajamas and make-up.)

We went to eat here...

...with these cool people...

...and Brian got the "most awesome" pasta ever! (according to the server).

I was psyched that these were on sale at Bath and Body Works, and they even had my favorite scent, Kitchen Lemon.

I got some very nice cards from my grandmas, plus this great one from my dad...(yea for guilt-free spending money!)

...the aforementioned cool people gave me these beautiful flowers...

...and hubby actually pulled off a surprise with season #1 of one of my favorite shows.

(These are my birthday present to me!)

Another great surprise was the cool red colander from my in-laws, doesn't it look great on the pot rack?

And last, but not least, my sweet sisters-in-law gave me this statue. I love these Willow Tree figurines, and I cried when I opened this present. It is perfect!

So thank you to everyone who made this a pretty great birthday... and so far I don't feel much different than I did at 29. Three decades and not a gray hair to show for it. (Knock on wood...)
