30+1

Darn it, it happened again. My birthday came and I had to turn another year older. As of right now, I'm 3 years older then my husband... He had to remind me of that this morning.
He has his turn on Saturday!

I got the party started early on Friday with a dinner date with some of my favorite ladies...

Katie and Sara came over to be my chauffeur and we met Maria.
Thanks GGs for a fun little celebration
and the best lobster bisque ever!

On my actual birthday, we went to the new Red Lobster in town. 

All I have to say is that I checked that off my list,
I won't be back anytime soon.

We did get seated in the "Captain's Room".

That was great because Ella could run around the table 

and not get into too much trouble.

This is all I could do to keep Ella Boo still.

Here are my lovely parents, can you believe their baby is 31??

Dave P and Debra Kay-
Thank you for the beautiful hanging basket!

Miss Sara was the photographer
and I didn't get any pics of her at dinner.

 

It's going to be hard to top my 30th year

with Mark, Ella and our new house..

but I'm excited to see what 31 brings.

Oh, one other exciting thing....  

No longer will you see this

We said goodbye to the beloved Binky.

She only is allowed to use it at naptime and bedtime. 

She has done great, especially for a girl who LOVED her Binky!

(Notice how she is hoarding another binky in this photo)

We are so proud of our Boo!
