My day yesterday started out fabulously. Each year J sets his mind on what he thinks I should get for my birthday and this year he was on a jewelry kick. Hubby was able to find a sweet little broach that I can pin on my winter coat for him to give to me. I love it. In addition I received a couple of my favourite magazines, a movie and a U2 concert on DVD. And most special of all, I got a morning at the Spa!
Grandma came over to take care of the kids and I was off for some long awaited pampering. It started off with an hour of theraputic massage, then on to a facial and finally a pedicure. My back, face and toes are so thankful and ready to take on the winter. It was wonderful.
Sadly, this photo of my fresh toes is the only one of me on my birthday. However, I did get to play all my favourite parts of Batman Lego on the 360, courtesy of J. And then we headed over to my Mom and Dad’s for my favourite dinner of Chicken Wellington and homemade Cake (that my Sister made for me). I was showered with more magazines, books, treats and gift cards and am all set for a few weeks of downtime should I choose to.
All in all a most fabulous day and best of all I got to spend it with my family.
Shhh… there was a birthday in our house today.
And it wasn’t for the blog.
I may be a year older, but Birthday Celebrations never get old for me.
I had a wonderful day and promise to post all about it tomorrow, it is late and I need to go to bed.
Last Saturday was my Dad’s Birthday. He was able to celebrate it with one of his Sisters and One of his Brothers. From a family of seven kids, it is amazing that they all get together as much as they do. All that being said, Dad rarely has any of them here with him for his birthday so this was a special treat. My Sister put on a great spread at her house. Complete with her Hubby setting up the younger kids with a movie downstairs away from us adults. It was a nice birthday. And the birthday boy made away with some very nice bottles of red wine for his wine collection.
I don’t post photos of my Mom and Dad often, but can you see the family resemblances of the three that are brothers and sister? It is uncanny that the older they get the more they look alike.
Wee little Apple got to hang out with us adults, she put on the fedora and pranced around for quite a while. I kept telling Hubby that she looked a lot like him, but he would hear nothing of it. Until I found some of his baby pictures. The resemblance is unbelievable. One of these days I will scan in some baby photos of both Hubby and I and then compare them with Apple and J. Amazing.
