Yesterday was my birthday, and I just want to thank my wonderful husband for making it such a special day for me!
First of all, I was awakened by my tall handsome husband holding a cup of Dunkin' Doughnuts coffee (double cream double sugar) and a doughnut. He snuck out early in the chilly morning just to bring that back and suprise me :)
Later on that morning I fed the baby, put Olivia down for a nap, and headed out BY MYSELF (it was Alex's day off, so he watched the kiddies) to get a much needed haircut! Yes, I broke down and got a mommy haircut. There just comes a time in every young woman's life when she's gotta retire those hot rollers and just get some really good little clippies.
After I got back, fed the baby again, and got Olivia up from her nap, we all headed out to the mall because Alex wanted me to pick out an outfit. We ended up sitting in the little playland in the middle of the mall for most of the time, but I can just get the outfit another day-- it was more fun watching Olivia climb over big plastic mushrooms and butterflies.
Later on that night, some dear friends of ours watched the children while Alex took me to the Olive Garden for dinner. He gave me a precious card that I could read over and over and over again.
What a great day! It seemed like the whole day was full of nice suprises and love from my family!

Hi Leah. I can't remember whose blog I found the link to yours on, but I'm glad I did. It was fun to catch up with your life a little. Didn't we make one of those long trips from Northland to Alabama together? I remember we discussed it since we both lived down there, but my memory of those long trips are a little fuzzy. Happy Belated Birthday.
