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.

Disney Loot


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.

Melting Pot Birthday


Isn't this picture a crack-up?

another year older


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.

the gorgeous cake Brett made me


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

helping me


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.

Happy birthday to you!!! Looks like you got some super cute stuff at Dland and had a fun date night too. I thought your hubby did an excellent job on your cake- cute tradition! That's my hubby's fave cake too, so I make it every March! Enjoy 29... quite frankly, I think the 30's suck (excuse my language).

We have a Darth Tater and I love it. That is good to know about the gift card, I was really worried about trying to spend it all in one trip for each of our birthdays. Bryan LOVES funfetti too but we have a birthday cake that the boys ask for now, so that is what is had. Father's Day I try to make the funfetti or any other time I make a cake or cupcakes.

Glad you had such a fun day.

It's so cool you got a birthday gift card from Disney to spend since you already have passes. Looks like your bday was awesome!!

Happy Birthday. That's great that you got a gift card from D-Land. Even better that you can use it whenever you want. I doubt it's the same for the tickets. My B-day and Hunter's B-day are on holidays...not really interested in being there the busiest days of the year. Great promotion though. Hope you had a wonderful Birthday. Looks like you had a lot of fun. 29...wow.

Happy Birthday again! I had lots of fun with Gwenie Pants so it was well worth letting you go to dinner. Although the pictures of the Melting Pot did make me a little jealous...I think your dinner was better than my In N Out! Although since Gwen and I had FRIES, it was definitely great! =)
