28 Years!

I've always thought 30's was still pretty young and now that it's sneaking up on me, I'm not looking forward to it.  I just think birthdays are silly as we get older, but Craig sure makes it special every year.  He was cute because I'm trying VERY hard to lose my last 14 baby pounds and so he said he wanted to get me a donut for breakfast and I gave him "a look"   He knew that was not such a good idea.  hehe
It was a very chill & relax day.  Exactly how I wanted it.  I spent most the day being selfish by watching some shows, exercising and doing pretty much nothing.  Doesn't happen much so gotta take advantage.  I did get a lot of f/b posts---those always make you feel special :)   Then for dinner I had to decide where to go.  I had it narrowed down to Famous Daves, a pizza place or mexican.  We ended up going to a fabulous mexican restaurant in downtown Vancouver.  Oh it was worth every calorie!  We are still dying to go back.  It kinda reminded me of El Matador in Ogden, but way better and clean.  We then went from there to Winco for a few things & a treat for Aimes.  We ended the night coming home to a chocolate cake with chocolate filling & chocolate frosting.  It was so good.  Can you tell I love chocolate?!!!  For my gifts it was so cute because Jaycee had crumpled up a paper and said she got me a gift.  I thought it was probably just a folded paper but she really did draw me a cute picture of our family.  It was so sweet and I still don't know when she did this.  I requested from Craig clothes.  He did SO GOOD!  He got me a skirt from Maurice with a g/c to go back for more & some clothes from Old Navy.  I was so thankful.  I don't buy clothes very often so it was nice to get some cute clothes.  It'll be nice to get rid of "big clothes" one day.  I get so sick of the skinny clothes (wedding size), maternity clothes, after-baby clothes and after baby pounds clothes.  Although it does feel good to put away maternity clothes and after-baby clothes.  Anyway, I also got a g/c from Phyllis & Larry (Thank you)  I spent it on shelves from Ikea for our family room & dinner for us a few weeks ago.  If you know me well I also LOVE pizza.  Even with trying to lose weight, I squeeze in a pizza night.  Mmmmm... 
It was a great day and I felt so special.  Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes.  Here's to 28 all year long!

Opening my new shirts...he's got great skills for picking out clothes.  I may or may not have been there to help ;)

 Love my new skirt!  I've been wanting a new jean skirt forever!

 Isn't that the cutest?!  I love my kids
