The Birthday Week

 I had another wonderful birthday this year. I turned 37, Amy 39. As usual, we had a lot of fun going on our sister birthday breakfast together. Being a little older isn't all bad. You know how to do more things. For example, edit pictures to make yourself  look younger!

We annoyingly struck the exact same "spontaneous" pose. (yes we also have the same jeans).

Anticipation...

Here's to another happy year and some really yummy juice.

A little later in the day... (Campbell and Sadie have swimming lessons together this year)

Birthday dinner with the family that night :)

Eating outside in a less controlled atmosphere suits 4 lively kids, but also puts you and your food at risk from the trees above. As we soon found out.

The next night I had my birthday girls night out with friends. Sadly, the server couldn't get my camera to take a picture. I thought she was doing something wrong until I tried it and realized my camera was the problem :( A sad (and probably expensive) discovery. But it was a fun night out to "Oreganos", one of my favorite restaurants, with some super girls :)   

Also, we took a family bike ride the day before my birthday.

I played on "Picnik" before it closed this week :(  (tree in our front yard)

Dana surprised me with a mini-getaway last night.

And a movie I was excited to see. Oh yes, I enjoyed it :) It had all you could want in a good romance: A really GOOD, handsome guy to come rescue the girl, a kissing in the falling water scene (rain, etc), a happy dancing scene, external forces trying to keep them apart, but love conquering in the end. This one also has some really beautiful shots of nature and some cute kid and dog scenes. Really, how can you go wrong?

Oh also I have been enjoying my present from my mom for the past couple months:

Our other shower has gotten REALLY lonely.
