Celebrating Jeff's Birthday

We started celebrating Jeff's birthday last weekend. I surprised him with an overnight date. I dropped the girls off with my parents friday afternoon. When I got home Jeff was already there and the first thing he said was "Where are the girls?". How fun to tell him we had a whole 24 hours to ourselves just to celebrate his birthday. I had made reservations that night at Jakes in Del Mar, which is a fabulous seafood restaraunt overlooking the ocean. After dinner, it was only 8:30 and we had no idea what to do. We were both so tired and actually contemplated just going home, but we talked ourselves into not being lame and going to do something fun. So we ended up at Dave and Busters. We had so much together and was a great way to end the night!

Ski ball!



Saturday morning was fabulous! We got to sleep in, in our bed. How glorious. Then we headed out towards the coast. We walked through Solana Beach, then we headed to Encinitas for lunch. After lunch we had 3 hours left, which was just enough time to sit on the beach. We ended up in Cardiff by the Sea and enjoyed two and a half fabulous hours of sitting quietly on the beach. We even both took like a 30 minute nap. It was a great birthday celebration. We missed our girlies of course but it was sure nice to have a break!



And then we were on to Jeff's real birthday. We actually had another "date" on his day also. Thats the day that we found out we were having another girl, so before the dr. appointment we went to PF CHangs for lunch, just the two of us! It was a great birthday present to Jeff to get see his third little girl squirming around. That night, we went to Outback for dinner with the girls and my parents.

Adalyn really enjoyed her ice cream dessert.


And then we headed back to our house for presents. I even made Jeff's very favorite dessert, but we were all too full to have any! Boo hoo!



Of course Daddy had to get some last minute birthday cuddles in before bedtime. Right after I took this picture Adalyn started singing the sweetest version of Happy Birthday to her daddy. It was so adorable!
