Jena and I celebrated our birthday back in June. That's right... I am lucky enough to share a birthday with my Jena bug. She is such a sweetie and I love her to pieces!
We had a very fun and relaxing day. I love parties. I love having people over and having cake and ice cream and hanging out. So, I had planned on having family over for cake and ice cream the night of our birthday. I had even called and invited people and let them know what time. Well, little did I know, Kevin already had a surprise up his sleeve. He surprised us yet again this year. (Remember when he threw the surprise party for us last year? ) The night before our birthday, he took me out to dinner and a movie for my birthday, since I really want to try and make Jena's birthday special and that way we could just celebrate her birthday the next day. Well, on our way home from our date, after picking up the kids from his parents house, he told me that his parents had invited us to go to breakfast with them in the morning. I said that was fine, and was only slightly bugged that I had to get up early on my birthday to go to breakfast. :) The next morning we were on our way to meet his parents at McDonalds, when he suggests that we stop at Chick-fil-a and get some Chicken Mini's for me and him to take with us to McDonalds since he knows I love them (you should try them....they are delicious). So, we go pulling into the parking lot of Chick-fil-a, with his parents right in front of us, and everyone starts getting out. Little did I know, he had called and invited everyone that I had invited for cake and ice cream to come have breakfast with us instead. Everyone brought presents and we had a little party there after we ate. It was really fun. Somehow Kevin even convinced me to bring Jena's Barbie cake that I had made for her so we had cake and ice cream after breakfast. We got to spend the rest of the day just as a family and it was really nice and laid back. I didn't have to worry about cleaning my house for family to come over that night anymore. We went shopping and out to dinner, and just hung out and played games. Thanks Kevo! I love you!

All the birthday presents
We tried to take a picture of the 2 of us together....this was the best we could get.
Jena got a sleeping bad from her Grandma and Grandpa for her birthday. She loved it so much that she insisted she sleep in it for the next 2 nights. I couldn't even convince her to sleep in it on top of her bed. She had to be on the floor.
