In case you missed yesterday’s post, it was Cher’s birthday! The big 3-0 that she’s been anticipating for years. And all she wanted to do was hang out together. Nothing more. We arranged to have a sleepover, eat yummy food, and watch 13 Going on 30. That was it. And that, we did!
The day began with breakfast!
Last year was the first time I really did Cher’s birthday with her. She’s not a big fan of birthdays, so to try and hit the proper middle ground, I simply made her some bright “birthday” scones. They were a hit, so we decided they would be a tradition!
We added bacon to the mix, because who would ever say no to bacon?
We dropped some bday scones off at her moms and my moms, and then we headed out for our day together! While we were gone, Brady got the kids outside and they played while he did some camper work 🙂
It was productive and everyone was happy! Win!
Cher and I did exactly what we had planned. We watched some shows, ate yummy food, and generally just enjoyed the downtime together. Eventually, we decided on a change of scenery, and ended up sitting out on the porch and playing a game.
It was pretty blissful until the mosquitos moved in. So we opted to move in as well.
Our whole evening was really slow going, and this morning was the same. Luckily, we had no deadlines or need to rush. It was an awesome time of quiet rest, and I think both of us welcomed that.
Meanwhile, Brady had loaded the kids up and done a quick errand or two that he could with the kids, and then he played outside with them until Cher and I showed up with breakfast.
It was sad to see her go, as it always is after we’ve spent really nice time together. I anticipate we’ll have another chance sooner than later 😘
