I celebrated a birthday last week and while my 'celebrating' was quite different from the twins' celebrating, I think I had just as good, if not better, day. My day was simply lovely. Tory was off work so it started off right with me getting to stay in bed when the kids woke up at 6:30am. It is SO nice to not HAVE to get up. I was still awake when I heard them but I lounged in bed for a little while before heading downstairs. Not having to get everyone's breakfast was another lovely part of the day and Tory even made me breakfast, eggs, bacon and toast! We all got ready for the day and Tory packed the kids in the car to head to Target while I had the arduous task of getting a pedicure. Tory had researched and found a place with the best reviews, called and made an appointment and even confirmed the day before for me. It was awesome! And every time I catch sight of my toes, I just smile, it makes me so happy. Then I headed off to do a little shopping, by myself, for myself. I spent over an hour in ONE store and spent some quality time trying on clothes and bought some new dresses, shirts and shoes and I love my new purchases! After some lunch, Tory whipped out a yummy ice cream cake and then kids sang to me, they were SO excited for me to have birthday cake:
After naps we all went to beach and I even snuck in a few minutes of reading my book while lounging in my beach chair.
Then it was home to get the kids ready for the babysitter and get myself ready for my night out. I got to wear one of my new dresses and new shoes, its fun to get all gussied up every once in a while. We went to this really nice restaurant I had been wanted to experience and it was great. The food was fabulous, the service great and the company perfect!!
We didn't stay out too late, we are all about sleep in this house. So I got to go to bed at a decent time - it really was a perfect day. I love my husband and how good he is to me. He really orchestrated the whole day to make sure it was just right for me. Happy birthday to me!!

Sounds like a WONDERFUL birthday!! Happy (belated) birthday!!
Happy Birthday! Don't you love how the simply things make us the happiest. I love that you got to spend some time for just you and you got to actually go shopping and try on things without a time constraint. What a treat!
Happy belated! Sorry I'm such a slacker and didn't call you. But I'm glad my brother stepped up and made your birthday special! You deserve it for putting up with him! ;) Love you!
