Momma's Birthday Weekend

This past Sunday was my birthday, so as to be expected, we were crazy busy celebrating this weekend. This happened to be one of the weekends where we only had Kaeden until Saturday morning, and therefore, we celebrated my birthday as a family on Friday late evening with pizza and an ice cream cake - I think Kaeden was more excited about the ice cream cake than he was about my birthday:). Jae, Kaeden, and Bennett got me the cutest gifts. Kaeden made me the below precious card, and I also received flowers and some beautiful framed photos of me with Bennett.

Kaeden's Precious Card:


After Kaeden was picked up for his canoeing trip with his grandparents, Bennett, Jae, and I all went shopping. Jae and Bennett were wonderfully patient as I ran from store to store attempting to find some good deals. Later that evening, Jae and I brought Bennett for his second overnight at Grandma and Grandpa Carlson's, and proceeded to go out for dinner and cocktails with some of my friends. While I missed Mr. Bennett an incredible amount (and could not wait to go see him Sunday morning), I had a fantastic night out!

We ended the weekend with a fun BBQ on Sunday with our family, Laura, Mom, and Dad. We all got to eat delicious food and I got to open more presents (one of my favorite things to do)! It was a perfect birthday weekend!
