I have to say that I had one of my best birthdays ever this year! My husband is so wonderful and always goes out of his way to make my birthday a memorable event, but it was even better this year than he anticipated!Friday, October 24 was my actual birthday and he surprised me by bringing home a yummy ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Not sure who was more excited by this, me or the kids! Daddy & the kids also gave me my birthday present, which was a gift certificate to the spa! A day of pampering & relaxation for Mommy, great gift!
Saturday morning we dropped the kids off at my parents house for an overnight stay and we had an entire day for just the 2 of us, that in itself was enough of a gift! We ran some errands and then came home and relaxed before getting ready for a dinner out at Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse downtown. We have been to other Jeff Ruby's restaurants, but never for dinner at the main one downtown, we were both so excited! While valet parking the car, the valets asked us if we were staying for the show. We had no idea what show they were talking about, we didn't know what was playing at the Aronoff, but when we walked in the restaurant we saw a poster for the musical "Hairspray". I told Steve how awesome that would have been to get to see that, it was only playing in Cincinnati for 3 nights. He told me to hold on and he ran across the street to the box office at the Aronoff and came back with box seats for the 8pm show that night! How perfect! It turned an already incredible day/night into something to always remember! We enjoyed a fabulous dinner of Ruby's award-winning steaks and then headed across the street for the show. We had a private box seat and it was a great show! My hubby knows how to celebrate a birthday!
Sunday we enjoyed a morning of sleeping in and then headed to my parents' house for my annual birthday lunch my mom prepares every year of vegetable soup & cheesecake. The kids had a great time with their Nana & Poppa and were excited to see us too! My parents got me the Shark Steam Mop that I have been wanting (I know, it's so sad to be excited about cleaning products!).
So, I just had to share what a wonderful 29th birthday that I had and what a wonderful family that I am surrounded by! I know how much they each love me and appreciate me, but it still feels good to get that little bit of extra attention now & again!
