What you might not be able to tell from the photo, Carter IS a gift surrounded by my other gifts. Adam stuck him in a birthday bag with a bow stuck on his chest and tissue paper all around him. It was the best gift of all!
Here is Adam and Carter preparing to wrap the gifts:
I was a little worried about turning 30, but so far it feels just like 29. Adam and Carter and I had lunch and then Jason, Kate, Lucy & Lemon came by to watch Carter sleep while we went to dinner at Fogo de Chao. Adam and I had been mentally prepping all week for a LOT of meat. It was as delicious as we hoped it would be. They brought out a dessert with a candle for me
The "icing" on the cake of my day was the surprise at the end of the meal. They have us the check and I opened it up to find THIS instead of the bill
How did they do it? Adam and I think they are more of a James Bond couple than Jason and Kate. It was very cool and we were SO surprised.
The night ended with wine at Max's Wine Dive. We (well, I) had plans for this late night out and lots of drinking but I pretty much turn into a pumpkin around 10:00 so we headed home.
The IDEA of turning 30 wasn't great but my family made it wonderful. I am so lucky to have a sweet husband like Adam who surprises me with flowers and my sweet son all wrapped up as a gift for me. Who urges me to get out of the house and pamper myself even when I think I should stay home. A brother and sister in law who not only drive way up north to watch Carter but surprise Adam and I to a romantic birthday dinner by treating a la James Bond style. To have a niece who demands they drive home when they are already on their way to my house because she forgot the sweetest birthday card she made for me. To have family and friends who called and emailed me all day to wish me a happy birthday. Thank you everyone for making 30 pretty great so far and for reminding me how beautiful family and friends are.
