Last month I turned twenty-eight.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And to\u00a0start the morning off, a dear friend of mine brought some Starbucks breakfast. The PERFECT way to start off the day. A little latte and Cranberry Bliss Bar never hurt anyone.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Since my birthday falls so closely to Christmas, I decided this day was a good one to get our Christmas cards done. That, and we were kindof tired of sleeping without a sheet and having the Christmas lights strung over our headboard.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

While it was pretty dang hard keeping two kids still and ON the bed, we got it done. There may have been candy cane bribery involved, too. Dangle a piece of candy cane in front of\u00a0my toddler and she will say cheese as many times as you want. No joke.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Next came lunch.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0I fed my baby Cal…<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I fed my little reindeer…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And I think I ate the reindeer’s scraps.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I then thought I’d get out of the house for a bit and we went to a local consignment store that tends to sell\u00a0things on the nicer side.\u00a0Well, after Gwyn wanted to sit in every chair and touch every doll, we quickly exited that <\/em>store. This picture says it all… she was just a blur in there…<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
So instead, we enjoyed a nice coffee break next door. Yep. More coffee.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I almost ordered Gwyn a hot chocolate. I then quickly took that order back as it was close to naptime and that sugary drink before nap\u00a0probably would have slapped me in the face.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So instead she got “milk flavored coffee.” -Steamed milk.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
We took a little walk downtown<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

And then once home I had a bit of cleaning to do. So while I vacuumed, Cal cried in the kitchen and Gwyn hid in her bedroom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

After doing completely nothing during naptime, which was awesome, the kids and I just played until The Hubby came home from work, handed me a $20 and told me to go get a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n

Well, being that I already had two coffees that day, I tried to tell him that I was a-okay on the coffee, but he insisted that I get out of the house.<\/p>\n

Not looking back,\u00a0I took him up on the offer and got outta there. Instead of coffee, though,\u00a0I somehow ended up at Wal-mart looking at their dishes. I have wanted some white coffee mugs for a while now and they not only had what I was looking for, but they also had a whole white dish set with all sorts of prettiness. I’ve never purchased dishware from Walmart before but considered this quite the find!<\/p>\n

I bet you know where that $20 went toward!<\/p>\n

I then got a call from The Hubby to head on home.<\/p>\n

Drats.<\/em><\/p>\n

When I got inside, though,\u00a0I was greeted with a pretty dang cute surprise party. Complete with party hats, streamers, balloons, noise blowers and my favorite dessert.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Wasn’t The Hubby clever to tie down the balloons with flowers? I loved this!<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Clearly, a lot of fun was had. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Can you guess who cleaned it up?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

It was a wonderful and thoughtful way to turn twenty-eight. Being with my three favorite people was\u00a0pretty awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
