My 30th Birthday

Tuesday was my 30th birthday- yikes!! The fun thing is that Josh instituted birthday week a long time ago- you get a whole week of birthday festivities! So, needless to say, I had a great birth-week!

Josh, the kids, and I went out to lunch Sunday at the Ashvale, a great fish restaurant. Then, Tuesday night, Josh collaborated with Kate for a girls' night at Friday's. We had a great time there! I think there were 8 of us, and I felt very special. :)

Josh also set up a date for us for Wednesday night. He got Katrina to babysit for us (thanks, Trina!) and planned the whole evening. The cool thing was my parents contacted Josh and payed for it all! So, we went to Rustico (my fave!) and I got an olive appetizer and a delicious shrimp pasta. Then, we went to the movies and saw The Proposal (definitely what I wanted to see!) and I got a huge fountain Coke Zero and popcorn- yummy!! It was great- truly, I enjoyed our date sooo much! Thank you, Josh, for planning it, and Mom and Dad for paying for it! I even got to wear a cute new sweater from the pile of new clothes Josh's parents gave me for my bday last month- am I loved or what? I also got more cards than I know what to do with, including 4 from the States!

Precious Rebekah was so happy to wish me a happy birthday all day. :) She asked me where my princess cake was, and seemed distraught that no one was here to make Mommy a cake. 10 minutes later, she called to me from upstairs, saying, "I'm ready, Mommy!" Luke and I joined her and that darling girl had found her pretend cake, candles, ice cream, forks, and drinks for us all! She even sang happy birthday to me. She is so amazing.

Luke just looked cute. :)

We then played dress-up

And Luke pretended to feed himself with R's dishes

(and was quite proud of himself)

And we walked on walls (this was actually yesterday, I think)

And shared Diet Coke

This was this morning- Luke loves sitting in the boot (aka the trunk)
