For those who know us, you know my husband never misses a beat when it comes to my birthday. He loves making birthdays awesome. I wish I had recorded all my birthdays because they have all been so awesome. I have had scavenger hunts, trips, spa days, relaxing days, shopping sprees, etc. But, today was fun! Each year I think it can't get better, but I love each year even more. I think because he is able to keep coming up with things to do. Many of my friends wait to hear what I have done because he has really done some crazy ones.
We always start out with breakfast in bed. All birthdays, Mother's Day and Father's Day warrants breakfast in bed. Because I had to go into work today, Marcus was up bright and early. Breakfast in bed was at 6 am. It is always my favorite, french toast with powdered sugar, side of strawberries, chocolate milk and some sausage :) Yum!
Work was enjoyable on a birthday as well. My co-worker gave me my favorite yogurt fruit parfait and the whole staff gave me a card ....but the whole school did their birthday song...love it!
I came home to my kids waiting at a little table at the front door with a sign above them saying "Kim's Spa." I had a list of things (above). I don't know if it's very readable, but I love the pricing. The pricing is 2 hugs for a facial from Parker, 1 hug and 1 kiss for a mani/pedi from Madilyn, a massage from Marcus "it'll cost ya" and Loves from Brady.....priceless! A shout out to our niece and nephew, Ross and Brookelynn who helped put it all together! I think Brookelynn did more than Ross, but you'd have to ask them??
I was spoiled for hours. I had a manicure/pedicure, a facial, a massage, a bubble bath, loves from Brady, a candlelight dinner and a delicious chocolate cake (Thank you, Julia, for the cake! She doesn't believe in boxed cakes, so wouldn't allow Marcus to do that. I admit, hers was MUCH better.).
I love my birthdays. Thanks, honey!!
My husband thinks we look like self-worshippers because we have so many family pictures in the house. I don't care. Since Ethan died, I can never have enough pictures of us all together. Since our new family picture matched by bedroom colors, I got the framed one to go above our bed. Love!
I am actually not aging anymore. So, even though it's my birthday, I am only 31. We'll see what I feel next year.
Thank you for all the birthday wishes. It has been delightful. Can't wait for another :)
