My Birthday {28}

Early morning smiles and snuggles from my sweet baby boy. 

Birthday present opening sitting cross-legged on the floor with a child on each leg.

A three-year-old's "Happy Birthday" serenade. 

Breakfast in bed while reading my book and eating an inordinate amount of bacon.

Exploring new places, complete with antique carousels and mini-train rides. 

Ice cream cones to beat the heat and a late lunch at a new (to me) eatery.

Crying babies and major mom-guilt while leaving for... 

The perfect birthday-dinner-date-night at a new-and-fancy restaurant.

Surprise cake and more presents.

Feeling special and loved all day long thanks to the wonderful people I shared my birthday with and the many, many calls/texts/facebook messages from friends and family.

I'm glad that it was a great birthday! I can't wait to hear about your trip. Also it looks like you found the train park! I forgot to mention that as a possibility. It's so fun!
