I am Thankful for Birthdays!

Alex said that he is most thankful for Heavenly Father because He gave us everything. It totally tugged on my heartstrings and it was probably the best part of Thanksgiving. We had Thanksgiving with the neighbors. I spent most of the day baking and dinner was over too soon, but it was nice. The following day was my birthday and we had a great day. Pete fixed me breakfast in bed, we went to the beach,

hung out at home. Get this- PETE GOT ME A CAKE!!! I know, 12 years in the making, but he totally got me a cake. Somehow it ended up in Pete's face and then in my face... whoops ;)Pete also got a babysitter and took me out to dinner at this crocodile place where we watched a guy put on a fire show- pretty cool.


(Push Play on the Video right above this to watch part of the fire dancer show). Pete put a lot of thought and effort into my birthday and it was GREAT!

We also discovered some new parks this weekend. Large concrete (yes, a mothers nightmare- the kid's pants definitely get noticeable wear from this!) are not uncommon but this particular slide was really long.

There was also a Tarzan like Rope Hut among other things. The kids had a lot of fun. '

WE also saw this house while driving through the city. It had a tree growing in front of it and made it look like a tree house. We thought it was pretty cool especially cause it was in the middle of a bunch of concrete and roads.
