Mommy's Birthday

It was my birthday last Saturday. Zoey is always excited about birthdays and loves to celebrate them. I told Zoey that for my birthday I wanted to take a picnic lunch to Pioneer Park in Stillwater. She was all for that. So all four of us spent a nice morning at the park. Then we came home and napped. What I also wanted for my birthday was a cake from Cold Stone Creamery--so I told Zoey that after nap we would all have some cake before Mommy and Daddy went out on a date. She was excited about the cake. Then Nana came over to brave the evening with the kids while Tyler and I went out for a dinner and a movie. Zoey burst into tears, wanting to celebrate Mommy's birthday more. From what I gather, she is used to birthdays being big to-dos with lots of presents and people around. My birthday was a big let down for her. So I decided to take her out for lunch the next day to continue my birthday celebration at the place she always has wanted to eat--Target. It was a fun time for all. Luckily for Zoey, she gets to go to Rochester this coming weekend for a double birthday party celebrating Aiden's 4th birthday and Kiera's 2nd birthday. That will make up for my birthday (which by the way I truly enjoyed!) Thank you Nana for watching Zoey and Zander! Tyler and I enjoyed our night out.

Yummy! Target food!

Zander is 7 weeks old.
I am back at work now and everything is going great--so far the kids are very cooperative in the morning and things have gone smoothly. Let's hope that it continues.

Glad you had a birthday you enjoyed. Zoey can celebrate extra hard for Aiden and Kiera. She certainly is her mother's daughter....yeah, Target!
