Oh how I love this man of mine! I cannot believe he is 29! But what I'm really excited for is his 30th, because then we will both be in our 30's!! But till then, he is going to have the best last year of his 20's. Looking back, it has been a wonderful year. 28 was great — we brought a new baby boy into the family mix, we lived in NYC for a summer, and he accepted his job offer in the city. He said goodbye to his youngest sister Olivia as she left on her mission, and his parents moved only an hour away from us here in Virginia. 28 was full of great changes for him, but 29 is going to be even better, and I swear each year gets better and better. This year, age 29, will bring graduation from law school, studying and taking the New York bar exam (and hopefully passing), moving to NYC, and finally starting his career as a corporate attorney, and lots of other firsts that come with moving. It's going to be another great year!
His birthday, however, was a little rough to begin with. We awoke that morning to two sick kids! Two kids that were cranky, tired, and very needy. (No doubt partially worn out from the excitement of Boston's birthday the day before!) He went to play basketball, had a nice lunch with Solana and his parents, then came back for a party at the house in the afternoon. Then I planned a surprise dinner at our favorite restaurant. He was so surprised, and that was best part! He has never had a surprise party, and I figured now was the time to do that, so a couple of our friends were there waiting at the restaurant when we arrived and he was pretty confused for a second before putting it together and realizing that it actually was a party for him. He loved it! Then we finished off our date night birthday party with a movie, which was excellent! Adam's parents were so nice to watch our sick kids and handle them for hours, so thank you Brad and Cynthia!
Adam had a wonderful birthday, and having both Boston's and Adam's birthday back to back actually was very fun, and we are looking forward to it each year. Parties are wonderful!!
Happy 29th babe!
The birthday man at his best!
He has to have a banner too.
Making two cakes back to back was actually very fun. Adam's was divine - in the sense that if everything in heaven was all made out of chocolate, this would capture that flavor! And I was so proud of myself for how I decorated it. But it did take awhile, so good thing we don't have cake often.
Mmmm……
When we got home for the evening, the kids were not sleeping, Boston was cranky and Solana had taken a late nap, so she was up at 10pm and ready to party. So here is the late night party crew. Haha!
Happy Birthday Adam!
