Mommy's birthday surprise

Oooo! 3 posts in 2 days! Must be a record!

So Monday was my 3(ahem!) birthday. Honestly this year was the first year I actually had to think about how old I was going to be. So sad.

Anyway.....Monday was my birthday and to celebrate, Johnny let me go out to the Cheesecake Factory w/ some friends (and my mommy) while he stayed home with the kids. It was lots of fun and I got to eat some YUMMY food and delicious cheesecake. This has become a tradition ever since the Factory graced our humble town with its presence.

Johnny had me call him when we left the restaurant, so I knew he had something up his sleeve. I also knew it was 8:30 and my 3 1/2 year old was still awake, so it had to be cute. We pulled in the driveway and a little silhouette flung the curtain open in the living room window, peering out to see if Mommy was really home. We walked in and this is what greeted me:

I had told Johnny I wanted a cookie cake, so he made me one himself! He was so proud and rightfully so! It's really good! Yeah, that's dark chocolate icing. He piped it on himself. What a guy!

Here's me and J.J. w/ the card he gave me:



And here's 2 of my friends who blessed me by coming to dinner with me (Thanks, Lauren and Laura!):



All in all...good birthday! Oh...and then last night I got to eat Olive Garden! Did I mention my hubby is going for the Husband of the Year award? :) I think he's got it in the bag!
