Today was my birthday. Ryan wrapped my present in a bazillion bags that took a while to unwrap.
I wanted to get a Christmas tree, so we put on all of our coats and cold weather gear and went to go get one.Blair and Simon came with us. I thought it would be nice if Simon took a picture with the girls. Simon thought otherwise.
Once the tree was at the house, Emma and Elizabeth took me out to lunch for my "present." It was really sweet.
I decided to do something different with the tree this year- white lights instead of the multi-colored ones. Courtesy of Black Friday, we got the new LED lights for a very reduced price. :) The girls and I decorated the tree while Ryan did homework. I guess that's the price he paid for not having an assignment on Thanksgiving, but it meant he did homework for a long time.
Our pretty tree:
Ryan did get me a pretty cake from Safeway.
After dinner (and cleaning up after it), I felt done watching the kids. So I went upstairs and sat in our jacuzzi while Ryan put the kids to bed. I sat in hot, bubbly water for a good 90 minutes. I felt better afterwards.
This was the birthday card I got from my in-laws. It was kind of funny, but what were they trying to tell me...?
