My birthday!

I had the best birthday celebration this year!  It started last Thursday......I had a couple days off between Nortech and Entellus so Carla & I spent the afternoon together!  We had the best time!  I love our sister time and we could spend days together - it's just never enough time.....but we treasure whatever time we get as our lives are a little crazier these days with the kids.  We went shopping, had lunch and then did some more shopping and found some super cute stuff!  We both decided it was a little dangerous to shop with each other as we both found lots of stuff we loved :)

Saturday night my family came over to celebrate.  It's always fun to be together and the kids had a blast!  We played outside for most of the night even though it was a little chilly.  We decided we needed to take advantage before it cold/snow hit!  

Nora, Auntie & Bishop - love these two!
This was the only picture we took the whole night - we were having too much fun!

Then we celebrated as our family of 4 on Tuesday.  What a fun day!  I started by opening my present in the morning.  Ryan surprised me with a new Mac computer!  I was so surprised and so excited!  Our desktop was getting really slow so blogging was taking f-o-r-e-v-e-r so blogging has been a piece of cake since getting the new computer hooked up!  

We went to Gina Maria's pizza for dinner.  We decided to eat in which was a fun treat!  I can't remember the last time we ate out at a restaurant.....it's just so much easier to eat at home so the kids can run around when they are done eating.  We all loved it though!  Then it was home for my homemade chocolate birthday cake!  YUMMY!  Ryan and the kids made it and it was delicious!!!  The only bummer part of my birthday was I didn't feel the best starting in the afternoon and I ended up getting sick later that night.  Jack had been sick on Sunday and then we learned there was a little bug going around daycare.  It was literally a 4-6 hour bug so we were both fine shortly after being sick but it's never fun to be sick.....especially on your birthday!  Overall it was a fabulous birthday and I am so lucky to have the amazing family and friends who helped make it so special!!!!
