Birthday Weekend

Had a wonderful birthday weekend! It was so very nice and needed to get some time to myself and get some things done.

It's hard for me to leave Alex and make time for myself. I feel like every free moment I have should be spent with him, since our time together is limited. But, I really did need that break!

Friday we had a work happy hour.  It was the first time I had gone out socially with co-workers.  Typically in jobs my co-workers have been my friends - my closest friends now have been previous co-workers. So I was interested to see how a work Happy Hour would go.  It ended up being a really fun night!

Saturday I got up early for a hair appointment! It was nice to get some pampering and relax a bit! After that I did some Christmas Shopping and then met a close friend for lunch.  By the time we were done with lunch it was time for me to head home and get ready for the Jenkins holiday party. 

I was really looking forward to the Holiday party. In 2011, 5 Jenkins' boys were born.  We had been talking for months about getting a picture of all of the boys lined up!  Well, unfortunately, my Alex was not in the holiday spirit and pretty much screamed the entire time! We were only there an hour before I decided it was time to go home. Come to find out, Alex has TPS. Tight Pants Syndrome.  I dressed him in jeans and he was just so uncomfortable that he cried all evening.  When we were taking him home I unbuttoned his pants and he finally started to relax.  So I know from now on, keep my baby in his comfy Carter's outfits!!

Sunday was another day to get some alone time! Went to go see Breaking Dawn. Not impressed with the movie, actually a little disappointed. Not only did Jacob only take his shirt off once, it was just a little unrealistic! I read the Twilight books and knew what to expect but this was just bad.  Hopefully the last one will be good. 

So, another birthday has come and gone -- now it's time to get ready for the holidays!!
