Mommy Turns 30!

I am officially in my 30's!  Despite me having to work late, we partied in style!  I came home to dinner all ready to eat - homemade lasagna with french bread and green beans!  My mouth is watering just writing about it....good thing we have leftovers!

Andrew and Eve surprised me with beautiful flowers, there was a cookie basket from my friend Candace, a box from my parents, and a stack of cards!  Wow!

After dinner, we set right to work opening everything up....Eve helped. 

In addition to Scrabble, my parents sent a book and alligator ring toss game.  They probably meant them for Eve, but we've all be enjoying them! 

Eve wasted no time playing with this toy - and now it lives in her room because she can't stand to be too far from it.  Andrew and I are practicing our ring-toss skills, but so far, at least for me, without much luck.  Andrew landed one of his first tosses - from across the room! 

Eve hasn't tried tossing yet - she prefers setting the rings on very neatly. 

But she's very good at calling out "miss!" when we fail in our attempts to land the rings.

Such a fun birthday!

For dessert we had homemade cheesecake and ice cream.  That's right - both! 

Then Andrew and I watched some episodes of Sherlock Holmes on hulu after putting Eve to bed - a great end to a great day!

This was so cute, I had to get one more good shot of it - thanks Candace!

And, of course, my beautiful flowers!  Andrew said Eve was so excited when they picked them out that she insisted on carrying them to the checkout and out to the car.  Everyone was commenting on how cute she was.  That girl loves flowers!



A big thanks to everyone who made it such a special birthday!
