happy birthday to me!

Yesterday was my birthday, so happy birthday to me! I had lunch with some friends from a mom's group, although it was a Christmasy kind of function and not a celebrate Allie's birthday type function. We had a lot of fun at lunch. It was a lovely tea room, with delicious food and such beautiful decor inside. Perhaps not surprisingly, there wasn't a single male person in the restaurant the entire time we were there. After lunch, I stopped and bought Jason's Christmas present, then went home and had birthday cake with Jason and Gavin. Gavin didn't actually have any cake, but he had Cheerios and seemed almost happy with that (he is starting to want what we're eating and not to be satisfied with what we give him - normal at this stage?). When we had eaten cake we left and went shopping, then met my sisters and mom for ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery - yummy! it's the second time we'd been there, and I have absolutely loved it both times. some of the best ice cream around. When we came home, Gavin was asleep, sacked out from not having a nap all day. He was so out we were able to carry him from the car up to his crib without his waking - triumph! Then I did some sewing and we enjoyed the rest of our evening in quiet until, naturally, we went to bed, at which time Gavin woke. It was a great day though. Hurrah.
