Birthday recap
Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes on Sunday! I truly had one of the best weekends ever and felt so loved and spoiled!
We kicked off the weekend Friday night with a night out with just our little family of four. When I was younger, I spent many Friday nights at Barnes and Noble with my family, followed by dinner at a local hot dog/hamburger place. So this past weekend Skip suggested we recreate it with our girls!
I got to pick out a few books for myself as an early birthday present, and other than one epic tantrum from Charlie when we were leaving, they were really well behaved in the book store.
I was even more shocked when they sat like little ladies at dinner. Not only were Skip and I able to eat our meals, we got to eat them leisurely! In fact we were both done before the girls were! It was a great way to jump start the weekend.
Early Saturday morning we headed down the beach to my parent's house. We met them and my older sister and a farm near there house. It was perfect for a fall day! We went on a hayride, had donuts, went through a corn maze, and saw lots of animals. The girls jumped on a bouncy thing, rode a cow train, and went down a big slide. Such a fun morning!
After that, the girls stayed by my parents house while Skip, my big sis, and I headed out for lunch. We went to my favorite pizza place on Long Beach Island. Afterwards we ate some fudge down by the bay and did a little shopping. It was very relaxing.
We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out at my parent's house. My dad made dinner and I got to open some gifts and have cake. We headed back home after another great day.
I got to sleep in nice and late Sunday, being woken up to presents and the whole house decorated. I spent some time with the girls {who were SO excited it was my birthday} and then went for a run. After lunch I proceeded to just sit on the couch watching football all afternoon. It was glorious.
After the girls went to bed, we had about a dozen or so of our friends over for football. Skip had taken care of all the food, planning, decorations, etc, so I just got to relax and hang out.
I felt so loved and spoiled all weekend. It was one of my best birthdays ever! Maybe 32 won't be so bad after all.
