Birthday Re-Cap

So, yesterday was my 28th birthday...happy birthday to me, right? It started off with a special surprise from Jason: while I was showering he snuck back into the house with doughnuts for me and Easton's breakfast. Yum! I was so happy to see that since I was kinda bummed about having to "work" (Baby John) that day. Oh well.

The day passed with Easton only napping for half an hour again but once Jason got home (early--YAY!) things got better. My mom and sisters came up to E-sit while Jason and I went to my very favorite restaurant: The Melting Pot. Mmmmmm. Love that place. It was delicious as usual.

Before we left for dinner, though, I got to open some presents. Fun! My mom gave me this book:

which I'm excited to get into. Plus, she's arranging a pre-paid interior decorator consult to help me with our bedroom decor now that all the furniture is done. Yay! One sister gave me a massage gift certificate (aaahhh!) and the other gave me these:

I love them because they're purple and because they'll come in handy the next time she stays over and I make pancakes. What fun! Easton loves them too.

After dinner I got to open some more presents. Gimme gimme gimme :) I was thrilled to find a new DVD player for the bedroom!

Yippee skippy! What a lovely mother-in-law I have (thank you!). I also dug into a couple of new shirts from Jason which I'll model in a month or two and then...a NEW DIGITAL CAMERA!!! Woo hoo!

So far I love it. I'm really excited to see what it can do. Plus, it came with photography lessons and I could sure use those. I'll have to get back into my digi-scrapping again.

The night before last J brought me home an ice cream cake (my favorite) to kick off my "birthday week".

He knew we'd be too full after the Melting Pot plus he wanted our babysitters to be able to eat some too so we dug into it on "Kristin Eve" (the day before my b-day). On Sunday my mom took us all out to a fancy brunch to celebrate my birthday too. It seems to be a tradition now. We've been at least the last 2 birthdays too. Anyway...here's a couple of pictures:


I like the scrunchy face Easton is making.

Oh, and yesterday as E appropriately wore his "I do my own stunts" shirt he stood (repeatedly) on the arm of the couch and jumped to land on the cushions. One time he over shot and got a little abrasion from the fabric on his forehead. This was on top of a previously existing bruise from either a.) the time he dove head first from the back of the couch to the floor, b.) the time he hit his head on the doorjamb after brushing his teeth, or c.) when he bonked into the coffee table leg while being a goofball. Who knows? Anyway, his forehead is lovely now. It's a wonder he doesn't have brain damage.

Well, we're supposed to go swimming with my mom and sissies at her neighborhood pool after nap time but it's starting to look a little cloudy. Don't want E to shiver but we'll see...
