Happy Birthday to Me!

This weekend was pretty much an all weekend celebration of my birthday. Yep - I celebrated my 29th birthday - again!! ;-)

On Saturday Chris and I went out to dinner and a show with some friends of ours. It was so nice to have a grown-up meal with grown-up conversations, and not have to order chicken nuggets for anyone! After dinner we went to a Queen tribute show, which was surprisingly good for a small town production. That being said, I realized I must be getting old because there were points in the show where I was actually plugging my ears because it was so loud. Oh my!

On Sunday we had our neighbours over for dinner - their birthdays straddle mine, so it was a group celebration. It was a really nice dinner, and the kids occupied themselves for a good hour and a half by setting up a 'light show' with Christmas lights, and then they put on a dance show for us - priceless!!

Some real highlights of the weekend were:
1) Quinn singing "Happy Birthday" to me every chance he got
2) Aidan buying me flowers. Seriously! The boys were at the grocery store with Chris and Aidan saw a bouquet of flowers and said: "Daddy, we need to get flowers for Mummy!" (clearly Chris has taught him well!)
3) Waiting for 3 bloody hours to register the kids for swimming lessons (which I will NEVER, EVER do again!)

All in all, it was a really nice weekend - I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful family and group of friends to celebrate with!
