a nice day

So I'm officially in my mid-thirities now, having turned 35 yesterday. I remember a time when 35 sounded old. It still sounds old, but it doesn't feel any older!

It was a fun day full of shopping, a date with my husband, and food (lunch out....cake and ice cream....dinner out--no cooking for me!). My parents were here so we all went out for lunch and they watched Rachel last night while my husband and I went out. Neither of us was very hungry after a big lunch and cake and ice cream, but we were going to take advantage of having babysitters here!

Here are some pictures from the day. It was warm and beautiful outside, so we spent much of the afternoon in the backyard. Rachel loved being the center of attention, even if it wasn't her birthday yet! (She knows it's coming, though, and can't wait!)
Both Grandma and Grandpa got up in her clubhouse with her and slid down the slide!







Grandma and Rachel had a parade with flags (these belong on the clubhouse but keep blowing off).



Rachel LOVES birthdays and couldn't wait for us to sing and blow out the candles. Look at her face!




And here's me with my best girl.

Grandma and Grandpa had fun too!
We love both our sweet girls...the now 35 yr old one AND the almost 3 yr old one.
