Birthday Weekend!

I just had my birthday (weekend) and I don't feel older a day over - 10 - just kidding! A and M do a really good job making me feel young. The weekend started with some very nice weather and we were able to enjoy ourselves at the park down the road. Busting out the Banig (picnic mat) and laying out in the warm sun was priceless.

My Dad and my future father in law met for the first time this weekend, and I was thrilled that they totally hit it off. Not so sure that the below picture represents that best image of my Dad though! If he was looking up, you'd notice how they both are sportin' gotees!

AFJW wrote me the sweetest birthday card I have ever read. It was especially sweet because it was in the mailbox when I arrived home on Monday after work - I guess my routine is so predictable that they knew to put it there. I came inside to find that she and Ryry had made me a playdough cake topped with a candle and I was greeted further with the happy birthday song.

The Envelope




The card included my smile-less passport photo! SO CUTE
It Reads: "I love your hugs and kisses. Mama and Anna will love you forever!"

To top it all off, Mia got me a new pair of jeans and VERY metrosexual shirt that only a man with a significant other would wear. Otherwise, I'd still be wearing high school t-shirts and living in ignorant bliss :) We all got pedicures and then watched '17 Again' to commemorate what appears to be...my wish to be...17 again?

Time to end this blog post, as Anna is about to get out of dance class! YAY!
