The Big 2-8

Yes, it is true. Yesterday I turned 28. Thank you to everyone to wished me a "Happy Birthday." It was a good day.... I started my day out by putting on my birthday crown and opening my gift from Ryan. He got me a fun umbrella that I really wanted to match my diaper bag and a book about a girl that became a missionary in Uganda. Good job, husband! I was very pleased with my gifts :)

After opening gifts I spent the morning with Ryan and Eva. We picked up Fuzzy's breakfast tacos on our way to the mall. I had a gift card to Express that I had saved from last Christmas. Since I spent most of the past year pregnant I had decided to wait to use it until my birthday this year. I also had 2 really great coupons, plus they were doing a buy one get one 50% off sale, so I was able to make my Christmas gift stretch very far. I love a good deal. With the exception of a few maternity shirts and pants I really haven't shopped for a whole year so it was a fun treat.

Ryan had to work for a while in the afternoon so while he was gone I put the finishing touches on Eva's Thanksgiving outfit. I love the opportunity to get a little crafty. It brings out the elementary school teacher in me. And I made this whole outfit, with the bow for under $3.50. I already had the ribbon, a plain hair clip, the headband and googley eyes. I bought a white onesie and an 1/8 yard of brown corduroy for the turkey's body. I am proud of how it turned out!

My parents drove out to take us to Kobeya for dinner. Kobeya is a fun hibachi grill in Southlake. It was fun to hang out with my parents and afterwards they stuck around to babysit. Thanks, Mamy and Grandpa!


My best friend Marianne hosted a small birthday celebration at her house. She even had my favorite dessert, Edward's Hershey Sundae Pie.

After dessert we played a game called Partini. Look at the intensity of these men trying to bounce a small ball in a cup. I'm afraid that Team Bradley did not fare well at this event but it was still fun.
We also played Scategories! Ryan LOVES this game and always wants to play it. Our youth group students can testify to how competitive he is when he plays Scategories. And if you look closely you will see our final scores... Kate -27, Ryan - 19. I won!!!!!

Spending time with my best friends was the perfect close to my birthday. I love ya'll so much! Thanks for a fun night!

  1. I'm sure you never played beer pong, but partini or whatever you call it is basically beer pong minus the drinking side of it. I had no idea they had a non drinking game version of this. ha!
