It felt like just another day... except that my phone was ringing more than usual and my email and facebook were getting hit with happy birthday messages (which made me feel special). I don't know why but this year I wasn't all that excited about my birthday. Maybe it was overshadowed by all of the life changes that have come the last couple of months. Maybe it snuck up on me and caught me by surprise. Or maybe I'm just getting old and the childish excitement of birthdays is starting to wane..... (sad!!).
No matter... I had a nice quiet birthday with Kevin and Isaac tonight, and it was fun. We went to Red Robin for dinner, and I got everything I requested from our server David. My wish was his command - sweet! I got my free ice cream sundae minus the birthday song and unnecessary ado and a basket of fries to begin with, followed by dinner with a cherry coke. We risked taking Isaac out at his bedtime, but he accomodated us by falling asleep on his own while we were out. Happy birthday, Mom! Just for you I'm going to put myself to bed for the night. And when we get home all you will have to do is take me out of my carseat and put me straight into bed because I'll be out like a light and content to just sleep. I love you but go hang out with Daddy for the rest of the night!
Along with the sweetest card, Kevin made me a birthday cake - Chocolate chocolate, YUM! Of course he topped it off with some humor... "I don't know about this, Honey. I don't think we have a fire permit for all these candles!" Ha ha.
27
I couldn't blow them out in one breath! Does that mean I don't get my wish?
One perk of having our own private party... we don't have to share the cake with anyone! Fork in one hand, milk in the other - Dig in!
This is the birthday card that Isaac made for me with Mindy today. So precious! I will treasure it forever.

You and Eli have the same birthday! Happy birthday! And for the record ... 27 isn't old! I used to think it was old ... but then I hit 30 ... and 31 ... :)
Happy birthday (a little late)!! Sounds like a great evening - Red Robin is one of my favorites too. Hope you have a wonderful 27th year.
Happy late birthday. Sorry, for not calling yesterday--we are awful! Anyway, it looks like you had a grand time with your guys. Take care and we love ya!
so sweet rach! happy belated birthday! 27 hit me for some weird reason too. i think it's because i'm no longer in my mid-twenties! i'm in my 'late twenties' which means i'm almost 30!?!?!?!!?! and that is reason to freak out:) glad you had a nice quiet evening. just how i like them!
