Gabby and I celebrated our birthday(s) a little over a week ago. I have noticed that since I have had Gabrielle, my birthday gets a little lost in the shuffle. I really haven't minded, and this year, I was just plain glad it was her birthday. I don't think that turning older is fun any more.
Brendon always remembers my Birthday and buys me presents. (This year he gave me a new stereo for my SUV and a gift certificate to a day spa.) But because it is Gabrielle's bithday, she chooses where we go to dinner and the kind of Birthday cake we have.
For my birthday this year, I went into work for about 7 hours to catch up from vacation. While I was gone, Brendon had the new stereo installed in the SUV. He also purchased some Mrs. Powell's cinnamon rolls for breakfast-I had one for lunch. I helped Gabrielle bake and decorate her birthday cake. Then we went to the Golden Corral buffet for dinner-Gabrielle's choice. After dinner Gabrielle opened her birthday presents and Grandpa David came over for some cake and ice-cream and/or cinnamon rolls.
I think Gabrielle had a really fun day and I did too...except for the getting older part.
