Another Year Older!

My birthday weekend has been awesome!  Matt had to work yesterday, so we started celebrating a little early on Friday evening.  Sunny's family came into town for the weekend because Steve was running a race, and I was excited to have our first official "guests" stay in our home.  We had a BBQ with them and Corinne's family on Friday, and I got to open a couple presents.  I was super excited when I opened Matt's gift - it was a Silhouette Cameo!  Sweet!  It will cut paper, fabric, vinyl, etc. and I can't wait to start playing with it.  I'm already making a list of things in my head I want to use it for :-)

My day yesterday couldn't have started off any better.  Knowing that Matt was going to be working on my birthday, I had signed up to run Color Me Rad.  What I didn't know is that we would have Kylee, since we don't typically have her on Saturdays.  I had bought Kylee some cute running clothes/shoes a couple months ago and have "practiced" running with Kylee a little bit, but I wasn't sure that she would actually be able to do a race yet, let alone a 5k!  I showed her a video of the race and she seemed pretty excited to try it, so we decided to give it a shot.  And she did AWESOME!  I was seriously so proud of her.  She didn't complain at all.  She ran quite a bit of the course and walked for a bit when she was "out of breath".  I was lucky to have run the race with Brandee's family, and Matt so graciously let Kylee jump into the stroller for a couple stretches of the course.

Kylee absolutely loved getting the color tossed on her, and had fun throwing color at people at the end when she was given a couple color packets.  I am thinking we need to make this an annual tradition!

After getting cleaned up, I enjoyed a lovely lunch with Sunny and Corinne at Costa Vida (where else?).  It was great catching up with my college roomies.

All in all, it was a lovely day.  Looking forward to dessert (and more presents!) with my fam tonight.  A happy birthday weekend to me indeed!
