A Happy 28th!

Today is my 28th birthday. I had a fabulous day! I awoke to the cutest kiddos in the world yelling happy birthday and surprise. Telling about it does not do it justice, you have to hear Dallin's surprise to really get the giggles! I loved it! Also when I awoke there was a wonderful aroma filling my home. Pete had gotten up really early to clean the kitchen and make me the biggest omlet ever made! (of course I couldn't eat it all!) and my favorite "foamy orange juice" You just blend it to mix it and it foams, I love it! I wish I had gotten a breakfast picture, it was beautiful and scrumptious! Then I got to hang out with my fam all day, because Pete had a work from home day (he didn't get much work done!) He and Ragan went shopping while Dal took and nap and I got the longest shower that I have had in a long long time! Usually my showers are jump in jump out and hope nothing has been destroyed in that three minute period!
Pete made my favorite dinner, many of you have tasted...fennel chicken with lemon sage vinagrette, garlic mashed potatoes with chives and broccoli! Mmm Mmm Good! I love it! Then we headed off to the temple for a date night long needed and a spiritual uplift also much needed and too long delayed! We got home about 8:30 already an hour past bedtime, but we had to have some of the made from scratch by Pete Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cake and icecream. YUM! The kids finally got to bed about 9:30 after singing me "Happy Birthday Cha Cha Cha" Oh and after a little mishap with the face paints.
Holly Mahoney sent me a face painting kit for my birthday, so we tried it out this afternoon. The faces looked great, but it didn't come off as easily as it said it would. I had to go borrow some eye makeup remover from my friend Brandy, because I don't own any and soap and baby wipes just wouldn't cut it!
Here are some fun pictures from my perfect day! Enjoy...I know I did!

So, I really did remember your birthday, but I forgot the important part--writing to you to let you know that I remembered it and wishing you happy birthday. :) Sorry about that. I have Pedro as my witness though, and he'll testify that I told him it was your birthday. :) hehe It sounds like you had a fabulous one! It couldn't have been better from your description. I'm so glad. You deserve it, mama! I love you so much and wish I could have been there to give you a giant birthday hug--especially cuz it would have been really funny trying to hug you with our bellies in the way. :) I love you! Happy Birthday!
