I am VERY behind with blog posts. In my defense, I have some good excuses like Christmas, going on a week long vacation, and being 7 months pregnant. I am going to be posting a lot of posts in an attempt to finally get caught up!
My birthday was on December 21st. I of course was not really looking forward to getting another year older. Ashlyn was very excited for my birthday. She told Joey about a month before my birthday that she knew exactly what she wanted to get me. Ashlyn and I watch a cooking show together all the time called the "Pioneer Woman". We really like her show. Ashlyn knew she had a new cookbook out. So, she decided that it what she wanted to get me. Ashlyn and Joey went to the store one night to buy the book for me. Ashlyn was very insistent about spending her very own money on my present. Joey said it was adorable seeing her pay with her own money.
My birthday actually started on Friday night. Joey and Ashlyn had a big surprise for dinner. Dawson stayed at his Auntie's house. The three of us went to the Melting Pot which is one of my favorites. Ashlyn was so well behaved the entire time. She really enjoyed the fondue experience, and definitely liked the chocolate the best. We had a really nice dinner.
On my actual birthday, Ashlyn woke me up bright and early with her present for me. She was just too excited to give it to me. I of course was so happy to get the cookbook and an adorable handmade card from Ashlyn. Joey and the kids went out while I was still sleeping and got my favorite breakfast sandwich. So, I also got breakfast in bed. We went out to lunch with my entire family to a Brazilian steakhouse which was wonderful. I even got my favorite ice cream cake for dessert! Despite turning another year older, Joey and the kids did an amazing job making it a very special day for me.
