On my birthday eve, I enjoyed an evening of crafting with April, Jackie and Stacey. We made some super CUTE crafts (pictures coming soon)! And while we dined on pizza and crafted the night away, I was presented with a lovely basket filled with 30 things for my 30th birthday! It was perfectly sweet and so thoughtful! For a list of my 30 fun things check out the photo below!! I dismantled the basket that night for my cake pops (which were DELISH by the way!!) and thus I did not get a picture. But picture a little red bucket full of goodies! SO fun!!
Shortly after the coffee started waking me up...the kiddos joined me for our usual morning craziness! Diaper changes, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and breakfast :)
Enjoying another one of my most amazing birthday gifts, I did a quick self portrait in my new winter gear! It is adorable and it was the perfect way to style up my day! Thank you my bestest for knowing me like no one else!
One my delicious treats made their way into tiny toddler hands. Owen came and excitedly told me...Mommy Mommy!! I found little cookies on the table!!!!! He helped himself. No biggie. Mommies know how to share right??
The boys took me to lunch and the location was my choice. I chose Red Lobster. Cooper insisted on eating with utensils. He actually puts food on his spoon with one hand...and scoops it into his mouth with the other. It's adorable! Though lunches with these two are always eventful...I didn't want to be anywhere else with anyone else!! Thanks for enduring an adult lunch out for Mommy boys! You both did so great! Oh and they LOVED the lobsters in the tanks. I couldn't bear to say...people eat these...because Owen thought they were SO COOL! One day we'll break the news right??
After a car ride so little ones could snag a nap, we set out on my other request for the day! A real tree for Christmas. We've been so busy with the house that I wasn't up for our usual trek to Mills Apple Farm...BUT I wanted to get a tree none the less. So we bundled up and braved the rainy cold. After a quick 10 minute search we found our tree at our local Home Depot. Cooper called them all Tee's...and Owen said they were beautiful. Boys I hope we have MANY more holidays spent doing exactly this!
After about 30 minutes of "to the lefts." and "a little to the rights." Jer had the tree perfectly straight from all sides!! I'm pretty sure we straightened it up even after I took this last picture saying ITS PERFECT DONT TOUCH IT!
Owen picked out a couple new ornaments for him and Cooper. Once the lights were up, he put it on the tree! He was so excited about the whole thing it was awesome!!
Owen's favorite part of the whole tree decorating deal was the star. When we first put up the tree he asked us where is the star?? Little buddy we started a new tradition this year. You and Daddy hang up our star :) Cooper even got in on the action too!!
What a wonderful way to spend a day...especially a birthday!! My favorite time of year, my favorite holiday tradition with my favorite people in whole world. I am loved and blessed.
Here's to 30 and whatever the world has in store for this next decade of my life!!
