For some reason, our birthdays turn into birthday weeks in this household. Probably because we both have such large families and a large group of friends. So needless to say my birthday week was awesome!
On the 22nd, we went over to my parents house and had a birthday breakfast for both my mom and I with both sides of my family. Racquel was able to make it for breakfast too! We had a huge breakfast followed by a cream puff cake! I had to remind my sisters that it was mine and my moms birthday party so they needed to get the candles lit and announce that we were getting ready to sing. Lets just say my sisters need a little bit more training on Throwing a Birthday Party 101. We opened up gifts from our families. I got a lot of JoAnn gift cards which came in very handy when I went to purchase all of my cake class supplies. I got a couple cookbooks, some target gift cards, a necklace, an apron, some of my favorite candies, a few home decorations, and I am sure I am missing something but it was more than I could have asked for. Josh and I just enjoyed the rest of our day together since he rarely gets time off it seems.
On the 25th, Josh surprised me in the morning with an appointment at the Green Valley Ranch Spa. I got a massage and a pedicure! Both were amazing as usual. After that I met my dad for ice cream. Ever since I was little my dad and I have always gone out on my birthday for ice cream. It is always nice to chat with him for a good hour or so since we don't get to do it that often. Then I came home and Josh and I went to play Bingo. On your birthday you get a free card so there was no way that I was passing that up. No luck for me but Josh won. We were running a little late but made it to Red Robin for dinner. We met my parents and sister and Josh's parents and siblings there. We are both so grateful that both of our families are able to go out together for dinner. It make birthdays and some other occasions a lot easier. I got some pjs, a shirt, some shorts, and a wallet from my parents, a Hobby Lobby gift card from his parents (which has already been spent on way cute Halloween decorations), and a Target gift card from Josh's grandma. Josh also surprised me with more gifts! I always get so spoiled from him on my birthday! I got 2 shirts, a knitted jacket, and a necklace. They are all super cute. Everyone was so surprised that he picked them out himself. I enjoyed visiting and sharing my birthday with them! I love all of my family so much!!
(i didn't take any pictures at dinner :( but I posted this one because it is my free card and the cute BINGO bag that I made my self)
That concluded my birthday week... I think?!? I hope I didn't forget anything! It was a great week. I have the best husband, family, and friends ever!!
