Happy Birthday to Me!

I spent a wonderful day with my family today, on my 36th birthday. We talked with our family in Florida last night AND this morning, via skpye and our webcam. It was really good to see everyone. Then we went to church and had our Family Service, so the kids got to come in and sing with us. We had cake afterwards, b/c it is also Drew's birthday (our minister out at Tri-Towns)...Daniel kept singing, "Happy Birthday to Drew!" as we went on our way. We stopped at Costco first and picked up the enlargements of our Christmas pics...then it was on to Flatirons, to see Santa (that's what I wanted to do for my birthday, since we couldn't do Zoo Lights--becauase the high was only in the teens today!). When we got there, the line was at least 1 1/2 hours long and he was taking a lunch break soon...so David fed the kids McDonalds and I picked up Daniel's Christmas Eve PJs at the Disney Store and got a fruit shake for lunch and we were off to Target. Ashley and I shopped together, as Daniel napped in the van, with Daddy. Then David dropped both kids and I off at the other Target in Boulder (trying to find snow boats and water prook gloves for the kids) and he headed to the office to print the labels for our Christmas cards (but it wouldn't work, so the cards will be even later...not that they're all written yet anyway). We finally ate dinner at IHOP (the kids thought it was funny that we had breakfast for dinner)...and then tried to go see Santa at the Twin Peaks Mall (the dying mall in Longmont)...and the Santa had JUST left for the night. Our last stop of the day was to King Soopers, to pick up our Christmas pics...b/c they had messed up the order that I turned in on Friday...and it was still messed up (this time, instead of really bright, black and white pics, we got some other family's Christmas pic and some random ones from another family). So our Christmas cards are turning into Happy New Years cards and I might not even send out that many, b/c once my mom and Jay get here, I'd just like to enjoy our time together (I'm going to do a post of the pics, so at least anyone who wants to, can check them out). That was our day...a long, full day out and about. I'm ready to be to bed now... thanks for stopping by!
With love, andrea
