My birthday

My birthday was Thursday and it was a pretty good day. I spent most of the day looking at this:


Eleanor and I had a good day together. She would eat, then make lots of cute faces at me, and then fall asleep in my arms. Now sometimes she will even stick her tongue out at you if you stick yours out at her first. It's so funny! Then, Hunter came home from work and picked up my present from Eleanor on his way. It was beautiful!


For my birthday I also got a cool book by Lonely Planet called "The Travel Book" and a gift card for Chick-fil-a. I've been enjoying the book and the gift card has already been put to use. :) I also got a birthday card from my sister that we have been trading back and forth for 14 years. She pointed out this year that the card is now half my age. So weird. She has to hold onto it for 11 months of the year and every year she thinks she's lost it.

After Hunter got home, I went out to Target by myself. It was nice to get to shop without worrying about Eleanor. After I got home and fed her again, we went out for Mexican food. The Mexican restaurant near us is good to go to with Eleanor because they're very fast. She didn't start to get fussy until right after I finished dinner, so it was perfect timing.

After she went to bed, Hunter and I watched Steel Magnolias. It's such a good movie but so sad. There are definitely some hilarious parts too though - my favorite was the red velvet armadillo cake. I decided that's what I want for my birthday next year. :)

First of all, Happy Birthday to you! Sounds like you had a very nice day! I love the pic of Eleanor. I have a outfit that I wore as a baby that is similar to the one she is wearing. I was excited to dress Ella in it. Did you receive my package?
