Birthday Celebrations

For some reason it seems like we're always celebrating a birthday around here. Maybe it's because we extend the birthday celebrations far beyond the actual birth day. But hey, in my book, that's certainly not a bad thing. Since I was out of town for Ryan's birthday this past week, we spent time over the weekend celebrating. 


Friday we went to Disneyland. It was kind of crowded, but I really didn't mind this time. The weather was absolutely perfect and I simply enjoyed just spending time with Ryan and Westin. I miss them quite a bit when I'm gone :)

I feel like we don't get enough pictures of just the two of us these days

I love us

On Saturday morning we met up with Nate and Abby for breakfast at The Griddle Cafe in West Hollywood. One word: DELICIOUS. The food here is seriously insane. Just the smell of syrup, butter and batter that hits you when you walk in the door is enough to make your mouth drool. 

Westin was a little rambunctious during breakfast, so to calm him down for a minute, we let him take a few pictures. These are the only two that weren't of the ceiling or the people in the booth behind us. In fact, these pictures of Abby and Nate aren't too bad at all.

A happy and very full family

After breakfast, we headed over to 3rd Street to do some birthday shopping for Ryan. Then it was a race to get Westin down for a nap, laundry and shopping done before we were off to Valencia for the evening to celebrate the upcoming arrival of our friends' baby boy. It's not often that baby showers actually include the husband, or any men at all, so being able to celebrate with the whole gang was truly a treat!

We had such a blast. My cheeks actually hurt at the end of the night from so much laughing and smiling. 

Tomorrow I'm off to San Diego and Chicago. I'm already looking forward to the end of the week since I just found out my dad will be in town for a visit on Friday!
