Oh Where, Oh Where Have I Been?

Just a quick catch you up...
We have been so busy since Xmas, as soon as Christmas is over we undecorate and get ready for the Birthdays. And this year David and I had a lot to undecorate since it was his first year to put up Christmas lights for his side business he has started.
So New Years Eve aka my Birthday came, the day started off slowly. David and Emme took me for breakfast and then we went back home played around for a little while and David left to take care of some errands and I put E down for a nap....still no presents. If you know me, you know I am all about the gifts. I am that shallow and I admit it, but I like to buy for others just as much. Anyways, it was getting late and I knew he had stuff plannned for the evening, so we got ready and he said before we were leaving I had to have my eyes covered. (too fun, I love surprises!) He covered my eyes with a big ski sock...yes it was clean. We got into the car and he took some turns and U turns to trick me, then we get out of the car and he won't tell me where we are, he just leads me. Then I hear a cow MOO, so I knew we were at my sister, Holly's house. When I walked i n the house, he took my blind fold off and everyone said Surprise!! He had invited my newly made friends and all of my family. He had appetizers and a cute cake he ordered himself with pink decor. I loved it. And...I got presents!
After my bash, he whisked me away to dinner with Holly, Doc, and Dan. We had a great time at dinner. The food was good and we could not stop laughing. Oh yeah, he arranged for my parents to keep the kids for the night. So, after dinner he had movie tickets, but I knew he was exhausted, so we skipped the movie and headed for our hotel he arranged for us. We checked in and he was out for the night by 9:45pm. I toasted the new year with Dick Clark and turned out the lights. We are not partiers, but that is just fine by me. I had a great time and the fact that he put time and efffort into me and my 30th is what makes me so incredibly happy. I love you, Dave.
So, 17 days after my Birthday is David's Birthday...his brother and I planned a brunch for his party. We had a egg and sausage casserole and waffles and topped it all off with a cookie cake! He said it was probably his best B-day yet. He is very easy to please, but I always like to give him a party. After the party, we dropped the kids off to the babysitter and were all off to see Paul Blart Mall Cop. It was such a funny movie! Then we headed to The Magnolia Hotel for drinks and then got ready for dinner. We went over to The Iron Cactus right beside our hotel and discovered our new favorite Mexican Restaraunt. Yummy! Then we retreated to our hotel room for some relaxation. I think he really enjoys being treated like a king since he works so hard for me and E.
Since then, we have had a quiet week...thank goodness. Now David is getting ready for his annual Firefighter Ski trip with his station buddies!

Uncle Dan and Precious Emme posing at Daddy's party.
I could not beleive that E sat there and said "Cheese Mommy". I actually got a posed pic out of her with a very good smile.
Aunt Holly and Emme at New Years Day lunch.
Not a very good pic, but Dan and Dave. Twins 13 months apart and 100 Lbs difference!

My very special cake designed for me!!!! Gotta love grocery store cakes!
Okay, I am going to try to keep up with my blog now. There are already so many funny things that have happpened or that Emme has said that I did not get in here, and now I can't remember any! That makes me so sad.
See you soon.
