Birthday Boy!

Yesterday was Jimmy's birthday. He went to some early appointments in the morning and then had lunch & saw a movie with his brothers. When he got home I put Sophie down for a nap (that she ended up not taking) and I left to do some last minute birthday shopping. It was so nice not having Sophie with me. On the way home, I picked up some Panda Express and a couple shakes from Arctic Circle. It's a real treat to get those two- especially on the same day! So after dinner we put a candle in one of the shakes and sang Happy Birthday! Then I divided the shakes into waffle cones (another treat) for the kids and Jimmy and I just ate out of the cups. We even have some left over shake for tonight. This weekend, Jimmy and I will go out without the kids and celebrate some more. (we try and stretch birthday's out around here) Last year, Camile tagged me and I didn't get around to doing it but now seems like a great time to catch up.

I tag whoever wants to do this~
(Sophie took the below picture) Her new thing is wanting to take pictures of everything! I have all these pictures of her toys, of our furniture, the carpet, and just today she took some pictures of Jimmy and I. This one actually turned out cute. There is another one of me sitting and she just got my belly, crotch and legs. I won't be posting that one!
Happy Birthday, Jimmy! You get better every year!
