Birthday weekend

Brett and I got to get away for a long weekend for our birthday's. It was so nice to know the girls were in good hands with my Mother in law and that they were having fun with her.

We stayed in a really nice hotel, the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach. Our hotel had an awesome view from the balcony.

Here we are on our balcony. We really loved our balcony. It was so nice to have a great view of the beach and to enjoy it.



We went to our favorite resturant, The Melting Pot, for both of our birthdays and it was really nice to sit and take our time.



We came home on my birthday and both of the girls didn't leave my lap for most of the day.



Brett made me my favorite cake, as per our tradition. This photo you can really see that I am keeping it real. The house was a mess and the trash needed to be dumped!



Gwenie has really loved birthdays lately and can sing the whole birthday song by herself. She helped me blow out the candles. The minute I got home she ran up to me and said Happy Birthday Mommy! It was the best present.



Thanks again to my Mother in law for watching the girls and to Kami for coming and helping her out on Saturday.

Celebration.

First we went to Dland so that I could get my much awaited gift card. Remember this post? I also had heard that you had to spend the money that day, but girls it is not true. The Disney peeps told me that they did that the first day and it was horrible so thay changed the rule and you get to use the gift card all year!!! Whoo Hoo!!! Since we were there we did get some things but I still have money left.

Gwenie is totally addicted to Toy Story (YAY, movies Brett and I can watch with her) and so I got her Woody and Buzz and they have not been parted since. I also have an obsession with Mr. Potato heads. It all started when I saw Darth Tater. The name alone grabbed me, but he was super cute too. Have you seen him?

My in laws heard me talking about him and bought him for me along with Spudtrooper. So when I saw Princess Tater at Dland I had to have her. Does this count as something Princessey girls???

Kami came to watch Gwenie so that Brett and I could go to the movies and dinner. Thanks again Kami. The movie was good and dinner was AWESOME. You can't go wrong with the Melting Pot.



Isn't this picture a crack-up?



Brett and I also have a Birthday tradition that has lived on these 8 1/2 years of marriage. We make each other our favorite cakes. I love the funfetti white cake and I have not changed my mind on it all of these years. It is the one thing that Brett makes for me and I love it.



Gwenie helped me blow out the candles, she was so excited to have some cake.



Birthday's are great, it is always nice to have a day for yourself, BUT..........I HATE I repeat I HATE getting older. 29 is SCARY it is one away from 30 and that is crazy. I really cannot believe that I have been around that long.
