best birthday EVER!

thanks everyone for the birthday wishes, and fun surprises!!
1) my sister heather and i live about 2 hours from each other. she made plans for my birthday, so friday we drove & met halfway for lunch! it was soooo fun! and the stinker wouldn't let me pay for ANYTHING! thank you for spoiling me hedda! her girls were hilarious, and malled tenley, which was great, tenley sure loves the attention! i couldn't stop laughing at all the cute/funny/witty things her kids say. it was a good time! they also gave me a fun gift: a little oyster/pearl/necklace kit... i cracked open the oyster, and there was a pearl inside, and a cute little necklace to put the pearl into! sydney was so excited about the little "creature" (oyster) and even touched it! the color of my pearl was "purple" and is supposed to bring me "wealth." i can't wait for that! hehehe
2) scott got off work an hour early, which was a fun surprise! i opened my gift from him, a really cute tankini!! gotta hide those little stretch-marks from incubating tenley! scott picked it out all by himself, i was impressed, it fits and is sooo cute! i love it cuz the top is nice and long. but then he had ANOTHER surprise! he had made dinner plans, babysitter plans, and had a hotel reservation! YAY!!! (it was such a thoughtful gift, especially because tenley has been sick and cranky this week with croup & an ear infection, so i needed a break!) it was our first over-nighter away from T, and i couldn't stop thinking about her at first. but once i blocked my mind, it was soooo nice to be just a couple again. we went swimming at the hotel, and i got to wear my new swim-suit! :) thanks sher-bear for watching tenley!!! and thank you scott for the best birthday ever! i love you so much!
