Happy Birthday, Mommy!



My birthday was the most perfect day.

It started off with stuffing my face with some delicious breakfast items that I only treat myself to once a year (typically on "Tomato Day").  It was the carb breakfast of champions and I enjoyed every morsel of my buttered challah roll, cinnamon krueller and crumb cake.  Mmmmmm....

After breakfast I drove to the airport to pick up my hubby who flew back to NJ for the weekend.

The afternoon was spent relaxing and hanging out with the fam, including Mandy and Scott.

After naptime, Mandy, Scott, Mikey, Michael and I headed to the boardwalk in Point Pleasant for rides, games and more food!  We started with the rides.  Mikey talked about the "boat ride" the entire drive to the boardwalk.  He loved it just as much as last summer---even quoted it as being one of his favorite rides.  He also rode the fire trucks, helicopter, motorcycle and truck rides as well.  He really enjoyed himself.  We headed to dinner when the tickets were used up (he transitioned A LOT better than I would have predicted) and then headed to the games.  Mikey played Skee-Ball for the first time in addition to a basketball game and a fishing game out on the boardwalk.  We scored enough points to claim an amazing prize in Mikey's eyes.....Sarge from the Cars movies.  He was in heaven!  The night ended with ice cream overlooking the ocean and doing some intense people "watching" (more like "commenting")!




















Oh!  And the Giants whipped the Jets in preseason football that night as well.  Even though the game doesn't count, it still makes the day perfect!

Thank you to everyone for your phone calls, cards, emails and facebook posts.  I appreciate it all so much!

xoxo
