My Happy 28th!

I decided I had my happiest birthday ever this year. Ryan was surprised when I told him that, but the truth is as our kids get older life just seems to get more fun and more enjoyable. Harder too, but in a good way. I wouldn't trade any of it. I feel so blessed!

What went on:
1. The kids woke me up 2 hours later than normal and gave me their presents (Ava-an empty toilet paper roll, Gracie-a book of stickers Grandma had just given her).
2. Go upstairs to the smell of bacon, hash browns, sausage, and toast.
3. Sit through breakfast while Ryan repeatedly tries to get the kids to stop begging me to share my meal. ( I always cave in and shared more than half my meal)
4. Watch conference.
5. Die eggs.
6. Go to Walmart to get my Easter bunny supplies.
7. Take kids to Cabellas to look at the dead animals and wander around. All the while wiping Ryan's drool as we look at 4 wheeler accessories, huge mounted elk, and gun safes.
8. Go to JCW's for dinner.
9. Go to Cold Stone for dessert. Scold Ava for mooning people coming in the door at Cold Stone (she claims she didn't know her butt was hanging out).
10. Listen to the family sing 'Happy Birthday' to me on the way home.
11. Put kids in bed and read 'Matilda' to the girls while they fall asleep.
12. Take a bath while reading 'Daughters of Shame'. Another great book from Dana. It is about honor-based violence, arranged marriages, and such.
13. Beg Ryan to come to bed early so I can snuggle up to his back and keep warm. Bed by 9.
