Double Booked Birthday and Easter to boot

How do you fit my 29th Birthday, my Mom's 60th Birthday, A private suite at the San Francisco Giants Baseball Game and Easter all in one weekend! It takes planning, flexibility and a sense of humor.

Friday April 22 and My Birthday
     I was so happy to be able to spend my 29th Birthday with my family. With everything going on this weekend we decided just to keep my birthday small. I had told everyone not to do anything but they still surprised my with a cake after dinner. 

The day started off with a game of Monopoly with Dad, Dylan, Brooke and myself. As you can see it was a very serious game. We all sat down with our tea, counted out our money and put our game faces on. After an hour or so of playing, the baby woke up from his nap and demanded lunch.Afterward,  I decided to take the kids out for ice cream to celebrate the day together. They were so good and very proud of there cousin Aj. Brooke loved helping push the stroller and Dylan made sure that Aj did not loose any of his toys.

Later that Night, the Barger girls came over. That is when the fun really started. It had been awhile since the cousins had seen each other, everyone was just so happy to be able to run around and give hugs and kisses. Through it all none of the kids would let us forget that we had to decorate Easters eggs

Saturday April 23 and Mom's Birthday


 And the weekend goes on, today is Mom's 60th Birthday. We had thought for months what would be the best way to celebrate her birthday. The plans were set for a special surprise birthday party, but last minute we got offered a deal for a private suite at the Giants stadium. So on Mom's birthday she decided the best gift would be the joy of seeing her family enjoy the day. She rented a party bus, stocked the room full of wonderful food and drinks. Everyone had a great time! The kids ran around and played everyone enjoying hot dogs and popcorn, not to mention soda. This was Aj's very first Giants game. As proud Giant Fan parents we made sure that he got all dressed up in his Giants gear and even got his special certificate. This has been something that Aaron has been waiting to do since before we even knew I was pregnant.

This was a wonderful day and I know that everyone enjoyed the time together enjoying the
finer things in life"


Happy Family enjoying out first game together!
