The Terrals: Birthdays

Momma is 32!

So it was my turn to get a little spoiled. Since Maddie and I share a birthday week we kind of had a joint celebration. Some of my best friends went out to dinner at City Centre in Houston. I enjoyed a few cocktails and great conversation.

On my actual birthday I had to take my car to the dealership( I procrastinated for about a month)👀. Thankfully Laura and her daughter Olivia came to pick us up and took us to lunch. We went back to City Centre again and ate at Cyclone Anaya. We even did a little shopping, with hyper kids in tow. That evening Shawn surprised me with flowers. Then we had a great dinner at Luby's. It was my choice really! The kids ate, there were minimal issues, and they sang to me. Great day, I feel blessed.

Max's 3rd Birthday

This boy had a great and busy birthday. I left early in the morning to do the Rodeo Run downtown (I'll post about that soon)!! While I was running Shawn was being super-Dad getting the kids ready for the zoo. Justin, Lisa, Isabel, Angela and Sebastian all met up at the house. When I was done with the Rodeo Run my friend Laura dropped me off at the zoo. Yes, I was exhausted, but we had a fun time at the zoo. The weather was chilly so the animal were out and about and frisky. The kids loved it!

Always fun at the slides

After a few hours at the zoo we were all pretty tired so we headed back home for part 2 of the party. We kept it simple with pizza and cake but we had a great time. The kids were played and played and played. Once Max saw his cake he was ready! We all sang to him and cut into the cake. Then Max was ready to open up all of his awesome gifts. We are so blessed to have great friends and family surrounding us, some in spirit, but we felt the love!
