Age 25 seems like forever ago. A decade to be exact. I took a quick peek at my 2003 photo album to see what the heck I was doing 10 years ago. Here's what I found:
Lots of hanging out with friends and my sister at concert tailgates and bars. Definitely fun.
Fast forward 10 years and this is where I am at now:
Not so scary. :)
The birthday weekend was fan-tab-ulous! It all started on my Birthday Eve with dinner and cake at the Q house. Between the ice cream cake and the awesome gifts, I felt like a very lucky girl.
The morning of my 35th birthday began with hugs and giggles from my little man who then showered me with tons of awesome gifts. Not a bad bounty - thank you Bubs!!
After a morning nap, we packed ourselves up and headed to Old Town Alexandria to enjoy the gorgeous day and grab some lunch. This has become a little tradition for us as we hit Old Town last year on my birthday. The big difference is our little man. Last year James snoozed the day away in his car seat:
This year, he was a bundle of energy as we dined at Pizzeria Paradiso. This kid LOVES to sit in a high chair at a restaurant and eat. He truly puts on a show!
After lunch, we strolled up and down King Street, browsing in the many adorable shops that line the street. James managed the brick sidewalk like a champ!
The day ended in Founders Park where we checked out the duckies and boats. James even made a new special friend (don't tell Lucy!) and had a ball walking on the green grass.
All in all, it was a great birthday. I'm not sure why I chose 35 to be my scary age, but with my boys and my Lucy at my side, things don't seem so scary afterall.
