Daddy's Birthday!

Yesterday was Andrew's "21st Birthday" ...

It began as a normal, regular Sunday with church and naps. But while Sophie and Andrew napped, I went to celebrate my friend, Holly, at her baby shower. Holly, her husband, Chadwick, and daughter, Reagan, are expecting a new little one, a boy (Mason), who is expected any day now and I can't wait to meet him!

I couldn't help but include the next series of photos ...
just because they were so cute and funny!

Then, it was time to come home and get ready for a fun date night with the birthday boy! Since Andrew had mentioned to me a few weeks prior that it would really be nice to just have dinner, just the two of us, with no distractions from Sophie or Blake and to have a conversation ... so I though it would be nice to gift him with just that ... a nice night out.

Admittedly, I had no real plan coming into the weekend ... well, not true. I had a plan. Dinner - yes ... where - I have no idea. So of course I turned to my parents, the true foodies in our family. After some thought, they suggested Bazaar - a fun and fancy tapas restaurant ... which sounded like a great place to celebrate Andrew!

Before dinner, we celebrated Daddy's birthday with our babies with birthday cards and cake at Gung Gung and Pau Pau's house. Thank you to my mom and dad for keeping an eye on our kids ... for our first date night alone to celebrate Andrew's birthday!!! It was the best gift ... thank you, thank you!

Of course Sophie offered to "help" open the
Birthday card that she and Blake gave to Daddy.

Cake ... possibly the best part of a birthday!

Celebrating Daddy's big day!

Then we were off on our date ... which was so lovely. The food was delicious and so unique. Good food and conversation - flowing and interrupted. It was so nice ... we even treated ourselves to a cocktail and a half (sharing the second one). We talked a lot about our upcoming trip to Brazil and of course of Sophie and Blake. And when there were silences, we just relished it ... and enjoyed watching everyone around us. It was a nice way to celebrate my favorite guy!

Caiparina bar ... came right to us
... and it came to us frozen - yum!

Happy Birthday Andrew!
I'm so glad you were born!
I love you and am so thankful do life with you.
May the next year bring more fun and more adventures!
