The day started off as a normal work day and ended with fun celebrations.
Dan surprised me and came into work with flowers! I was in the middle of a choir class, and he booted me off the piano so he could play and have the kids sing happy birthday to me. It was sooo sweet! Too bad I have no pictures or video of it :)
Then after work I came out to my car and found it decorated with sweet messages and balloons from my friends Amy, Becky and Janel. I felt so loved!
Then it was time to celebrate. My mom and brother drove down from Denver to have a yummy dinner with us. I picked out the menu of steak, potatoes and salad, and Dan helped me put it all together. It was SOOO delicious!
Then of course it was time for cake and presents. That means cookie cake! And thank you for the Kohl's gift cards, I was able to buy some more work clothes with the next Kohl's sale!
The next day I crossed another item off our bucket list: horseback riding at the Garden of the Gods. The weather was beautiful and so was the ride. The boys even got to go on a pony ride and then hike around with Grandma Kathy and Uncle Kevin while we rode our horses. Ready for lots of pictures? :) It was so much fun, even if I was sore afterwards.
These pictures are from Kevin while he was hiking with the boys
They found us on the trails while we were riding and they were hiking!
Here are a few pictures from my mom!
And then pictures from Dan and I! It was just too beautiful of a place and day not to take a million pictures! ;)
I just love Pikes Peak in the background!
Thanks for a wonderful birthday! I'm so excited for another year!
