Birthday Weekend

Saturday we celebrated my Mema's 80th birthday!  We all spent the morning at her house and had KFC for lunch and yummy Caramel Cake for dessert.  She loved the flowers that the girls gave her and I gave her a birthday card, which made her cry...it was absolutely the perfect card for her!  I love my Mema so much and she has had a hard time since Pop has been in the nursing home.  She didn't even want to celebrate her birthday without him, but we told her that she was going to celebrate her 80th birthday with us Saturday and Sunday, she could spend the day with Pop!    After Mema's party, Hayden and I went to Kendall's birthday party, Kendall is a girl in Hayden's class.  It was at the bowling alley and boy was it LOUD and dark.  Hayden enjoyed it or I guess I should say...she enjoyed playing with all her friends.  They were all dancing instead of bowling, but I guess all that matters is that they had fun!  Mark and Gracie spent some quality time together while we were bowling.  I was teasing Mark when I left and told him that there was a load of clothes to fold in the dryer and the floors needed mopping!  He just looked at me like I was crazy, which was exactly what I expected!  However, when I got back home, my house smelled like Murphy's oil soap and it took me a minute to realize that he really did mop!  I couldn't believe it, but I was so excited...it totally made my night!  Later when I went to get the shower ready for the girls, I noticed that he had also folded the clothes that were in the dryer.  Once again I was so excited, it was really sweet that he did those things.  I gave him a big hug and kiss and told him how much I appreciated it and he said that he only did it because he felt sorry for me because I am pregnant and starting to get fat!  He didn't really mean that, he was just joking or at least I hope he was! 

Sunday we celebrated Mimi's birthday!  Hayden was so excited about Mimi's present, we had bought her a charm bracelet and Hayden and I ended up with one too!  I didn't think the bracelets would fit Hayden, but it did and she is so proud of hers.  She shows it to everybody!  We also bought Mimi a Lemon Cheese Cake for her birthday and it was also very yummy!  Kim and Artie brought steaks and scallops for dinner, everything was delicious.  I don't think anyone left hungry!  It was a fun day but the only problem was that everybody wanted to be outside because it was so pretty but it was just too cold and windy! 

It was a very busy weekend but it was fun!  Hope everyone enjoyed their birthdays!!!
