I was planning on doing something out of the ordinary that afternoon, but when I saw how disappointed Hannah was that no one would be at her school program that afternoon, I quickly changed my mind to watch her. Glad I did. She was a hoot! and it was super uplifting as well. I've always LOVED that I share my birthday with George Washington and it was a privilege to watch the children of her elementary school honor him and the amazing men and women who fight for our freedom every day since. I may have shed a tear or two.
I snuck away with Abigail once her program was over to my favorite little place for a treat. Red Mango. Yum! Abigail is most thrilled to tag along with me anywhere that treats are involved!
Aaron had to work late on my birthday so we opted to celebrate Friday night with dinner and a movie. Best gift ever!
Hannah had another program that evening, so it was back to the school to watch her again. This time cousins, and Aunts and Uncles were in tow. She was thrilled! My sister Nikki invited us over for bananna splits afterward, since it is her husbands birthday as well. Made for a late night for the kids, but a great way to end the day. Aaron showed up at Hannah's concert at the end and was able to join us for dessert. I was happy all day even if it was pretty much a typical day. I feel so grateful to be a mom, and to have a hard working husband. And the good thing about not really celebrating your birthday on your birthday is getting to celebrate for days on end. It started last weekend when Suzanna made me a yummy cake and ended last night when we had our own, family cake. Life is good!
