The Final Year of My 20's: B-Day Weekend Recap

Thursday was my 29th birthday and I felt very blessed by the amount of birthday calls, texts, and Facebook posted I received. I have some very great friends and family!

I have to say my birthday itself was pretty good. I started off the day to a trip to work (I know that may not seem like a place you want to go on your birthday) so I could get lil man on my insurance and introduce him to my coworkers! After my work, we made a swing by Sam work to do the same thing there. I'm happy the Sammy only had one little melt down because he was still hungry (after I had just feed him not 20 minutes before) but my coworker was a champ and even feed him his bottle for me!

After the all our running around, we headed home. Sam's mom came over after she got out of work so we could actually go out to dinner. It was very nice of her to babysit but I pretty sure she loved every minute of it. Plus he just slept the whole time so she got off super easy this time.

Come Friday, I had made plans for our friends to come and hanging out. This was the first time we really had our friends over for a gathering since the baby was born. I know some people may think it's crazy to have a party with a five week old baby around, but we're such social people he'll just need to get used to people being around. When he wasn't demanding food or was having some gas pain, he was pretty well behaved.

Also, Sam was awesome when it came to helping get ready for the party. Within the hour and a half spend of time from when he got home, our living room went from looking like this-

To looking like this-

It was pretty awesome!

The party wasn't anything too crazy. Just consisted of our closest friends hanging out, eating, and playing some cards against humanity- so all and all a fairly low-key night.

The rest of the weekend was pretty laid back. Saturday- Sam worked on some house stuff and then we just hung out at home with lil man. And Sunday, we went to Sam's parents for dinner and were able to leave the baby there for a bit so we could sneak out and get some Christmas shopping done. I think Sam's dad has got this grandpa thing down and has proven to be a great babysitter!

All and all- it was a great way to start this final year I have left of my 20's!
