A Day to Celebrate

Here are a handful of snapshots from my birthday last month, I truly had a wonderful day! Woke up to sunny skies, chipper kids, and a helpful husband who took the day off from work.  Before heading out for the day, we took a few photos in the backyard - we've been bribing Leah to smile by giving her chocolate chips (hey, it's works!).  I love this photograph of the three of us, I just love having my arms around these sweeties!

The girls were dropped off at the Warren's house (thank you for babysitting on my birthday, Kristy), so I could enjoy a few hours with Mark.  We had a nice midday date, these are rare, so we really cherished it.  Loved chatting over lunch at our favorite vegan restaurant in Seattle, Plum Bistro.  The tables are tiny at this restaurant, and the intimacy was perfect for a birthday lunch.  Here's a picture of an all-time favorite Plum dish, the Mama Africa salad, it always hits the spot!  After a nice meal we drove to the Chihuly Garden and Glass museum at Seattle Center.  It was a great thing to do on a day without children in tow and a radiant sun glistening off the unique glass pieces in the garden.  We highly recommend the museum, it's a must-see!

After getting back home with the girls, and some much needed quiet time, Mark sent me off to shop (thank you, Jen!) and dine with some of my closest friends.  The night finished off with a huge slice of chocolate cake at PF Changs - we ate, drank and were merry for hours!  I'm so grateful to have had a break from the sometimes mundane daily grind with wee ones, it's days and moments like these that make it all worthwhile.  Here's to another healthy and happy year of life! :)
