Birthday Girl(s)

Happy birthday to my twin sista Brooke and to me!  Today was a great day.  Very low key which is just my style.  I went out to lunch with my daughter at Panera.  We stopped at my favorite local bakery and got cupcakes and frosted Halloween cookies.  I got to snuggle all day with my baby girl and baby dog.  I was able to take a nap when Mike got home from work.  

Here's Ava in her "back to school outfit" from Aunt Brooke.  The shirt says, "Hoot Hoot.  I'm cute."



I wanted Hy-Vee chinese for supper.  This is what Mike decided to wear....  Aren't I a lucky lady?

In case the picture doesn't do justice, he's wearing a white v-neck t-shirt (chest hair exposed), gray sweats with pockets and elastic at the ankles, black socks, athletic shoes.  He did untuck his shirt once we got there.  I know Hy-Vee isn't the classiest place to eat... but come on.  I felt like I should be getting paid to take him out, like when I worked at Systems (group home).  I have to admit he is quite adorable!

It's really hard being away from my sister on our birthday.  It's just not quite the same unless she's around to celebrate.  Days like today make me miss my family.  I just want to be able to go to my parent's house and chat or have my brother and sister over for supper.  Boo, I don't like to dwell on this but it's always on my mind. 

It's 8:20pm.  Ava is in bed and Mike is asleep on the couch.  When does my wild birthday party start?

La la la I'm 28 now.  Last year was such rush, and I have a feeling this year will be even more fantastic!
