Over a month ago I turned 31, definitely easier than 30. It was just painful to realize I was heading over that hump last year. This year I could concentrate on enjoying my birthday like usual. I'm like a kid, I love the attention, cake, presents, excuse to go out, etc. This year Matt and I went to a delicious dinner at La Jolla Groves and then to a movie, "Life as we Know it". Matt ended up enjoying it more than he thought, and another birthday perk, he didn't complain about my choice of girl movie because it was my birthday! The girls were over at Matt's parent's house being babysat by Aunt Megan. My friend Amanda had a little lunch for me with Cora too, one day the following week to celebrate, and we spent another night out with friends at the Melting Pot that we also kind of counted for my birthday, along with Matt's two best friends' birthdays. We had cake and candles with the girls the day after, because Matisyn wanted to celebrate and be part of it too. She LOVES birthdays. My main present from Matt was cash in $20 bills designated for babysitting and nights out. It's exactly what I needed!
Our friends the Barrett's baptized their eight year old Jamison the beginning of November. Matisyn wanted to sit by Olivia during the talks. I tried to get a picture of my girls together, but Emilyn wasn't cooperating. It was a circus, as usual, trying to keep Emilyn quiet and Matisyn focused. We ended up out in the hall!
It was Matisyn's dream to have a bird feeder, so Matt made her one, with her "help". They filled it up and waited, but it took a while for birds to come. They were so excited when they saw their first birds eating!
