A Little More Birthday Love

I had an awesome weekend celebrating my birthday! My mom and stepdad came for the weekend. We did a lot of relaxing, watching Big Bang Theory, Dancing to Just Dance, playing games and eating good food. I made Pioneer Woman’s Minestrone Soup, which was a big hit.

Hailey got to open some more birthday presents from them. She got a Dora backpack (which she loves to wear around the house) and a beautiful painted picture my mom painted for her room

Over the weekend I think Hailey played about 20 games of memory. She loves this game. And she’s good!

We had a blast playing a different game each night they were here. We played Loaded Questions, Pictionary and Apple to Apples.

Look at this cute picture collage my mom made of Hailey. She has so much personality.

Sunday night Kyle and I went on a date for my birthday. It was so nice having time alone with him. We ate at Red Lobster then went to Barnes and Noble so I could spend my gift card.

My mom had to take a picture of us before we left

The food was fabulous as usual. Also, I got an awesome knitting book at the book store. I plan on knitting a lot more this year.

When we got home my mom had be open my other presents. I got a cool winter decoration my mom made and some cute pillows that my mom sewed!

We finally have some more color in our living room!

It was so nice having a relaxing weekend with everyone.

Here are a couple other birthday gifts I got

I really needed a new pair of slippers! My other ones were completely worn inside.These were from Kyle and he knew exactly what I needed

Also Kyle’s mom Kathy got me Rachael Ray knives! I was so excited when I open the box! I got to test the big one out over the weekend when I made the Minestrone soup. It is AWESOME!

Monday my mom and stepdad left in the morning. This was my actual birthday and I was sad that I had to spend it alone since Kyle is out of town. I got a really special surprise though

Flowers!

This just made my day, and made me cry.

Last but not least, I snuck in some time to start crocheting a granny square blanket. I am having a lot of fun with this project!

Overall I had a great birthday! Want to know something sad? I had to ask Kyle how old I was. I must be getting old.
