How Did This Happen?

I turned 41!!!  I suppose it's better than the alternative, but it sure feels like it snuck up on me!

I'm usually a huge celebrator of my birthday, but this year it was a little more low key.  My parents came out to watch my kids so my husband and I could do Tough Mudder (please see previous post) and stayed through my birthday and Easter.  That was fun having them here.  We spent a lot of the week just going to the girls' swim, tennis and karate lessons, sampling all the good food we have in the area, and watching movies. 

On my actual birthday, I woke up to a house decorated with streamers and Minnie Mouse birthday decorations.  Lance and the girls had made me homemade chocolate waffles for breakfast. The rest of the day we spent in San Fransisco. I love being 25 minutes from downtown!  I wanted to go to the wharf to visit the Boudin Factory and have lunch there.  That was fantastic!  Even my dad who usually hates San Francisco enjoyed it! 

Then we went to the amazing Westfield Mall on Market Street to pass the time until our dinner reservation time at Roy's (what has now become my birthday dinner tradition seeing as it is the 4th year in a row I've eaten at a Roy's somewhere in the world on my birthday). 

Dinner was fabulous as usual.  Dessert was even more amazing and the company was unbeatable!  So happy to have the parents I do, a husband who treats me like a queen and three wonderfully sweet daughters who make my life so happy!  Here's to another amazing 41 (plus) years...and lots more birthday celebrations!
