My Birthday

For my birthday, Chris surprised me by getting his parents to come up for a couple of days to stay with the girls while he, George, and I went up to Vegas. We stayed at the Loews at Lake Las Vegas. It was really nice. I got to do a little shopping, have a fun Cinco de Mayo lunch, sit by the pool, see the Pionkes, and spend time with Chris. I gotta say, he and I always laugh a lot together, but we laughed super hard together on this trip and I really loved our near-alone time together. And I also gotta say, I forgot how easy life is with just one kid! Man!! Anyway, we had dinner at the Hash House a Go-go at the M, and it was so so so good! When we got back to the hotel that night, I was secretly wishing I could eat cake on my birthday but I was pretty full so I forgot about it. I had climbed in to bed ready to go to sleep when there was a knock on our door. It was room service bringing up a little chocolate lava cake with ice cream and berries. Lovely! Chris took a picture - pay no attention to my attire, please. It was a nice getaway. But I was as excited and twitterpated as a schoolgirl when we got home to Olive and Lucy. Happy Birthday to me!!
