My 34th birthday was a couple of weeks ago. Hard to believe! Since I had been sick with strep the week before, I was working overtime to get caught up the week of my birthday. On my actual birthday though, I took it pretty easy. At the office, everyone surprised me with all sorts of yummy treats. I especially loved this cookie cake. Mary, Larry and I all have birthdays within 5 days of one another, so this cake was definitely appropriate!
At lunchtime, Mom and I continued our tradition of her bringing Chinese food to the office for us to enjoy. Since my birthday is the day before the corporate tax deadline, it's difficult for me to actually leave the office for a long lunch, so Mom brings it to me. Love that we do this!
I left just before 5 to head home. Ryan, the girls and I then headed over to Presbyterian Village to visit with Meme for a little bit which was nice. I don't get to see her as much as I would like right now. After that we headed to Steak and Shake for dinner which is where this picture was taken. It was pretty chilly outside, but the girls really wanted to bring the milkshakes with them.
We hurried home because I was supposed to have a Board meeting that evening, but it ended up being cancelled at the last minute. So, instead of running off to that, I was able to be home with my family. We played the Disney Headbands game which is so much fun and just enjoyed being together. It's a rare treat these days it seems like.
A couple of days later, on Saturday evening, we went out to dinner with some great friends: Brian and Jill Henderson and Chad and Sonja Powell. We went to Rathbun's Steaks which is far and away my favorite steakhouse, ever. Delicious doesn't even begin to describe their bone-in filet. Oh my goodness. Add wonderful friends and fun conversation to this amazing dinner, and it was the perfect way to end my birthday celebration.
