31st Birthday

We did some fun things for my birthday, but it wasn't this which is what I've done for the past 2 birthdays:

 

 

The husband holds nothing back for my birthday.  This year I got to go shopping for some new clothes with my sister, dinner on the patio at our favorite chinese spot, and celebrating my special day with friends and chocolate cake made by the husband. 

Some photo documentation of me NOT being pregnant.

 

This was attempt #1 at cake.  It was his first cake he's ever made and I was really proud of it even though it fell apart and was still dough in the middle. Unfortunetly, we didn't get a photo of cake #2.  It was beautiful and delicious!

The day before my birthday I came home from work and Camilla's legs and arms had markers all over them.  When I asked Ryan he said, "she found some markers and got the lids off!  I don't know what happened!?"  I racked my brain trying to figure out where I had inadvertantly left markers for my 9 month old baby to discover until I got my birthday card from Camilla. Ryan set her up on the kitched table under some newspaper and let her go to town with markers on a card.  They were the sweetest little scribbles I have ever seen.  I can't wait to get my first macaroni necklace!

Happy Birthday to me!
