Shopping, Bowling, Food

I got to celebrate my birthday more than one day. :) It was great. On my birthday (Tuesday) my parents and sister, Sara, came over for the day. They got to our house before lunch. I made taco salad and then us girls went shopping while Kyle and my Dad held down the fort during the kids napping/quiet time. We hit the the most important stores on our list, Forever 21 accessories store and Motherhood Maternity. I found some cute things at Motherhood too which was exciting.

We left the mall and went to Southcenter to meet up with Marci. She was just getting out of school so that is our half-way meeting point between where we both live. Kyle, my Dad and the kids left from our house and we all met up at a bowling alley down there. I wanted to go bowling for my birthday, random, but we all had fun. Kate is still talking about it.

Kate loved the hand dryer. She was getting frustrated that she wasnt hitting any of the "white things" (aka pins). At first she was doing fine, but then she went on a gutter streak. Her ball would lose steam at the very end and go into the gutter so my Dad helped her push it harder and then she was happy again. It was cute.

After bowling, we were worn out (ha) so we went to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner. It was delicious.

Even the kids loved the food. :)

It was so nice of my family to come over just for the day on my birthday. We had a great time with them. Shopping, bowling, eating out- what more could I want?! It was fabulous.
