Somehow I escaped the family's cold and was able to celebrate my birthday this weekend.
On Friday afternoon, Aunt Kim stopped by with her gift of flowers and fancy bath products. Her logic: "Since you seldom shower, you should get to feel fancy when you do." Right on. She even hung around our house for a few hours that afternoon and bathed Reese (BONUS!) before leaving for a date with Uncle Ehren.
Saturday morning, Kevin informed me of the "real" birthday plans: Grandma Bailey was arriving at 11:30AM to watch the girls for the night, and we were taking off for a nice dinner and a night at a hotel!
The idea of uninterrupted sleep was about the biggest birthday present I could have asked for. Making things even more impressive, he had made reservations at 3 different restaurants for that evening so I could pick what I was in the mood for.
I felt slightly bad leaving Grandma Bailey with one sick kid and one kid who was barely done with her potty training, but she handled it all beautifully.
I decided we'd try a new French restaurant that evening where I tried rabbit for the first time, and (always the romantic) then I passed out at the hotel before 9:30PM. (And not because I over indulged at dinner.)
We came home to cupcakes and cards made by Reese and finished up our weekend at home on a rainy Sunday.
