24

Yesterday (Today really but it's after midnight, so technically yesterday),was my 24th birthday.  I'm pretty excited about it...I can definitely say I had the best married birthday I've ever had...though this is only my 3rd.  I woke up to Quinn playing with my face, flipping my lips, pulling my hair and making his breathy, happy noise that says "mama!  are you awake yet!? you should wake up!  I've been waiting and waiting and WAITING! let's go play!" So I force-nursed him back to sleep of course.  He didn't complain.  Paisley jumped in and we had a big family snuggle till the folks got here around 11am which launched my favorite day of the year!  We watched Despicable Me, ate pizza, drank tea, checked out a local flea market (found a few gems too!), ate at a sweet little restaurant in Bothell (The Preservation Kitchen.  Go there.), and finished the evening eating the raspberry, chocolate mousse cake Matt got for me (from Hoffmans Bakery.  Go there too.) and watching Red (watch it. it's funny.) Couldn't have been more perfect. Some fantastic (and I mean FANTASTIC) gifts, and a basket full of folded clean diapers later, I'm going to bed feeling loved, blessed, and STOKED for this new year.
