My Birthday

I turned 27 this year. That is three years away from 30. Oh boy. But it was a great birthday! My birthday was the day before Thanksgiving. Dan's parents came over and watched the kiddies so we could go to dinner. Thanks for the adorable watch Doug and Lani, and thank you for watching the kids for us! We of course went to my favorite--Chilis. It was delicious. Then we walked around and did a little Christmas shopping. When we got home we opened my birthday presents. Dan had me open my two gifts...Two things I've told him are all I ever wanted, and if I don't get anything else, I won't care. So I opened up my new garbage disposal, which honestly I was thrilled about because ours is old and reaks. And I also opened a part of the new blinds I will be getting for our front window. Again, total excitement, you have no idea! But honestly, I was a tiny bit disappointed when he said that was all he got me. Then he came out with more gifts. HAHA! Funny guy. Always the kidder! He also got me a darling Mickey mouse t-shirt, the movie "The Proposal," and a web cam so I can talk to my sis on Skype after they abandon us. After we opened presents, my parents came over and we decorated our Christmas tree! I couldn't wait. Dan said we had to wait until Thanksgiving. He gave in and let me decorate one day early :) (Even though our other Christmas stuff had been up for a month). Makee loved decorating the tree. He has now learned the phrase, "Don't touch--just look!) He says, "Uh touch. Uh Yook!" Of course, that concept is a bit hard when he got to touch everything as he helped put up the tree. But he sure had fun!Papa helping Mak
We celebrated my birthday with my family later that weekend. We had Cafe Rio to go. It was delicious! Birthday celebrations aren't what they used to be with five little kids. But it's always fun to hang out at Mom and Dad's and bring food in. Whit made me a very cute birthday cake.
My parents got me Photoshop! I am so excited to try it out. Plus, they got me some way cute sweat pants.
Whit, Pete, Belly and Burt got me some new airbake cookie sheets and a cute snowflake shirt
Me with my three little miracles--Makee, Bai in the middle, and Ry on the other sideI'm pretty sure I'm the luckiest 27 year old on the planet. I guess birthdays aren't so bad when I get to celebrate with these three and my hot hubby.
