A Very Happy Birthday!!

Today I turned one year older!! Thanks to my wonderful husband, children and aunt, I had a great birthday. This morning Blake took Madie after she ate at 6 so I could sleep a few more hours. When I got up, Blake and the kids had made a cake and breakfast together. The kids were such great helpers! Around noon my aunt came and stayed with the kids and Blake and I (and Madie of course) got to go out for lunch. We went to Fiesta Guadalajara...where when Blake told our waiter it was my birthday he offered me a shot of Tequila (so I thought it was spelled Takila...you can tell I don't drink:). He said it in Spanish and the only word I caught was Tequila and since I didn't really know what he said and kind of got nervous, I pointed out we had a baby with us (the only thing I could think of to change the topic). Blake then informed him in Spanish that we don't drink (thanks hun) so he offered to bring me a sopapia. Once again he spoke in Spanish...translation please. Blake said that would be fine. We enjoyed a wonderful meal and dessert and headed off to the movie...TWILIGHT!!

The sopapia that I got instead of Taquila.

Yes, I finally got to see Twilight. I know there are some iffy reviews out there, but I really enjoyed it. Two thumbs up from me! Of course there were some things about it I think weren't what I pictured reading the books, but overall I really liked it. I told Blake that all I wanted for my birthday was to see Twilight and I got my wish! Blake previously purchased the tickets and when I went to hand them to the guy so we could go watch the movie he asked me if I had another ticket. I asked him if we needed a ticket for the baby and he said I only had one ticket. I had two tickets in my hand, but he kept telling me there was only one...that the other half was his. I was so confused...he asked if we had the receipt and thank goodness we did and was issued another ticket. When we went back he told me once again that the first ticket was only one ticket. I told him (in a very nice voice) that I understood and that it was fine. He then proceeded to tell me again. We said thanks for letting us know, it's not a bid deal and walked away and went and watched the movie. I was determined not to let this man ruin my birthday. The movie was great and we had a great time together.

Waiting for the movie to start.

We came home, visited about the movie with my aunt, Blake made a wonderful dinner (BBQ meatballs, rolls and salad), ate cake and ice cream and had a great rest of the night. And to top it all off, we have the first snowfall of the winter...on my birthday!! Thanks to all for a great day! I love you all...my sweet family.

The adorable cake Blake and the kids made for me!
