Silas turned 0-3 this month and a few weeks later I turned the big 3-0. I was quite happy to do so actually. I'm always the young one around. Brett is 6 years older and many of our friends are older. Now I feel "closer" in age because I'm in my 30s and not my 20s anymore. :) The gap seems less even though the age difference is the same.
Here I am on my birthday...
It was a lovely day. Brett let me sleep in. I woke up and stayed in bed for a few minutes while no one knew I was awake. I LOVE this. Really getting to slowly wake up instead of jumping out of bed to meet my kids needs at 6 am (or earlier). So that was a gift. I came out and my boys showered me with love. Dawson gave me a heart that said #1 Mom that he had made at school. (thanks Anna!).
The best comment of the day came from Dawson. He asked me if I had a party who I'd want to invite. I told him some people and then I asked why he was asking. He said, "Because I just want you to be happy." And with that my day was made. I have incredibly sweet boys.
I spent the late morning at Kristen's house with several girls having henna done. I have no pictures of that but it was fun. Nice to hang out and chat while getting our hands and feet done.
The boys really wanted me to have a cake. Since they couldn't make one, I had too. :) They helped though. They chose the kind of cake and everything since really it was for them. So we made a cake and decorated like they wanted (surprise surprise it was covered in sprinkles.) :)
Then they all blew out the candles.
They enjoyed it.
That evening Jessica had the singles over and Brett and I for dinner. It was divine. Lasagne which was FANTASTIC and a wonderful salad made by Kristen and Anna and great conversations. I ate my meal so incredibly slowly because it was so delicious and I wanted to savor every single bite. It also helped that I had no kids around and COULD eat it slowly. Then we enjoyed homemade German chocolate cake covered in 30 candles. Again, absolutely wonderful. It was a lovely evening. (thanks to Marcy for watching the kids).
It was a great 30th birthday. Thankful for my family and friends who made it so special.
Wish I could have been there to make the day special but it sounds as if the boys did a fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteYes this mom still struggles with the piercing but if it's the worst thing you do, I think I can handle it. Glad Carol can do it with you because I won't. Just give me the henna. :)
So glad we got to celebrate with you! I am sooo grateful for you and your friendship. Enjoyed reading all your most recent posts.
