The Best Birthday Yet!!

I have had the best birthday in 32 years today. It actually started on Sunday. We went to the T-Rex Cafe for lunch. We had a great time.

We were headed home and decided we weren't ready to call it a day. We turned around and went to the Irish Fest in Downtown KC . We all had a great time there as well.

We stopped for dinner near the Power and Light District and headed home. On the way home the boys sang happy birthday to me several times. They were so sweet and made sure that I had fun all day.

Monday we went to dinner and played mini golf. Once again a great time with several performances of the birthday song. We ate ice cream and got an ice cream cake for my actual birthday. Tuesday I woke up to the boys singing happy birthday and dancing. They were very excited about having cake later. I had to go to work and class and when I got home they sang to me again and gave me the best presents ever. They both had drawn me pictures and put together a scrapbook page at mom's earlier in the day. Then Jacob performed a birthday dance and sang an original song. His song was something like "your the best mommy ever, I love you, You do nice things for us, even when you don't let us do what we want to do you are still the best mommy in the world..." It was great. Jacob was a little worried that I didn't like it because I was crying, but I assured him that it meant that I loved the song.

Their excitement was the best present ever. And thank you to Seth too for tickets to the MU v. Nebraska game. That is going to be a lot of fun! I love my boys and am so grateful to have the opportunity to be a mother and a wife. It makes even ordinary days an amazing gift.
