Happy Birthday to Me!

Today has been the BEST day! I love my husband. He is incredible and made today the perfect day. He started it by taking the day off. He and the kids dropped me off at a spa this morning for a massage and facial. Incredible. I was so relaxed in the massage that I came pretty close to falling asleep. :) I especially love getting facials. They are my favorite. When I walked out, I felt so refreshed and re-energized. We brought the kids back to the house for naps. I then got to go shopping, by myself, and found some fabulous running shoes.

Bart took care of the kids all day so that I could join in the fun with them or just relax doing whatever. Cole kept calling me "the birthday girl" all day and Sadie continuously sang the "happy birthday song" to me. I loved it!

The plan was to eat at the Olive Garden and then go to Baskin Robbins. Bart unexpectedly caught me off guard again by having the waiters come in and sing to me while holding a cake with a lit candle. He totally tricked me. I had no clue. When I heard the singing coming from behind me, I thought "Some poor shmuck is getting embarassed with all that singing!" Little did I know that I was the shmuck!

When we got home, they had some presents waiting for me.. the Twilight soundtrack, some desperately needed slippers, wooden spoons and some workouts DVDs. I was spoiled rotten today! I have the most wonderful husband and sweet kids. They took good care of me today and I really appreciated every second of it! Maybe turning one year older isn't so bad after all! :)

Thanks to everyone for your emails, phone calls, and little notes! It made my day even more special! I'm lucky to have such divine friends and family! Love you!!
