35..perfect day!

So today I am 35 years old! Where does the time go? It was a great birthday. I woke up to a message written on the mirror from my sweetheart. It said, "We love you Mommy, Happy Birthday!!" I was able to sleep in until 8:00 am, until I was woke up by my sweet Sarah crawling in my bed with me. Ethan you slept in until 9:30. We had breakfast, I did a little light weeding in the flower garden and then watered my veggies and then we got ready for the day. Sarah today was the first time we put mousse in your hair and tried out that natural curl...you looked adorable. After we were all ready we went to Grandma McCormack's house for cousin play date. My sweet sisters always go way beyond the call of duty and they made a special lunch for me. We had ham wraps, salad, veggies and dip, and chocolate covered strawberries! So great! My Aunt Cathy and Brittany also brought lime ricky's. It was a very relaxing afternoon, where the adults got to chat and the kids played in the backyard and watched Tom and Jerry. It was a perfect afternoon.

About three o'clock the best thing in my life walked through the door...the blue eyed, brown haired Mr. Parkin! Could my day get any better...no, he makes everything perfect. We packed up and headed to our house and opened presents. I received the Adele CD, Biography on Dick Van Dyke, Shirley Temple DVD collection, a wallet, shirt, a book, and a skirt. Way to generous, but very appreciated. The great thing about the gifts was that daddy took you two with him and you helped pick out every gift. You did great! I loved every gift you got me. After gifts we headed out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory at the City Creek Center. It was the first time we had been there and it was delicious! Daddy got tuna, I got steak, Ethan got macaroni and cheese, and Sarah got grilled chicken. For dessert we got carmel chocolate pecan cheesecake, daddy got mango key lime pie cheesecake and you kids got vanilla ice cream. We all shared and dinner was so pleasant. The waitress was a little slow, but you were so patient and it was so relaxing. We talked and giggled and it was the best time we ever had at a restaurant. After dinner we went to the Disney store and Sarah got a Little Mermaid and Cinderella nightgown, Ethan got the Brave sword, axe and hammer. It was a perfect night. We walked slowly back through the city creek and came home for the night. Before bed time Daddy put on the Adele CD and we all danced in the family room and Sarah you never wanted it to end. It was one of the best parts of the day. After prayers, scriptures, and books you both went to bed and Daddy and I stayed up and watched Pysch while Daddy rubbed my feet. The end of a perfect day! I love you all!
