Happy Birthday!

My birthday day was pretty quiet and 'normal' but when Jordan got home, that changed. My boys spoiled me! Jordan is very good at paying attention to things I could use or would enjoy and that is exactly what I got. Lucky lucky me!

We love Perudo. McKay especially loves 'the dice game' and was excited when he discovered that that is what he had given me. :)

McKay offered to open my presents and give them to me. He was so excited for my birthday to come. When he came in my room in the morning I asked him if he knew what day it was. He thought for a second and then got a little smile and said 'your burfday! yay!'

We got a babysitter (!!!! - a 17 yr old from our Sunday school class) and Jordan and I went to Mimi's Cafe for dinner and then found some cute matching shirts for the boys on sale at Old Navy. It was so nice to get out kid-less! On Saturday (my birthday was on Friday) we had Jordan's brother Todd and Lisa and their daughter Karlie over for dinner and games. I had a delicious chocolate 4-layer dessert birthday cake that was gone way too soon! It is nice to be close enough to family to get together once in a while (they are about 1 hour away) and we got to break in Perudo too!

I got a laminator with the sheets that go with it, cutting boards (yay!), a cookie scooper, Perudo, and baby food freezing trays from my boys, earrings and photo album from Grandma & Grandpa Cardon plus the treasured card on my birthday (I don't know how she does it but it is always right.on my birthday). My mom and dad gave me a timer for my bed warmer (love it!) and wheat.

Jordan's birthday was on a Tuesday so we did most of our celebrating on the Sunday before since he usually gets home so close to bedtime for the boys. He ended up getting off work a little early on his birthday so we went to Texas Roadhouse Grill for dinner and I took the evening off of work.

He enjoyed his birthday cake last year so much that he requested the same one this year. It is a yellow cake mix, crushed pineapple, cherry pie filling, and butter. Y.U.M. This year we waited until it had cooled a little more before we put the candles in. Last year we enjoyed wax with our cake...

Have I mentioned that Max loves to climb? He never misses an opportunity!

Jordan got a new scripture case, a brad nailer, running socks, an Amazon music gift card, and toffee peanuts. My parents gave him a Stanley thermos and he got a nice card from Grandma & Grandpa Cardon.

Happy Birthday Jordan!
