I began celebrating Thursday night by going to the always delicious Pastry Pub, with my very thoughtful friends Hollie & Mikkel-yummy food and good company! It was great, thanks guys. :)
I then came home to a fairly clean, empty house. After some investigating I found out that Shawn had taken the girls to get a few things to surprise me. (So sweet!) I actually think they were meant to be saved until the next day, my ACTUAL birthday but Brylie is a terrible secret keeper, and gets much too excited to hold anything in. She immediatly called to say..."Mommy, we got you a cake, and a balloon with flowers on it, and oreos, and tiny-one sprite (which is really pepsi in the small cans, but to Bry everything is sprite...but I do love everything in small sizes. :) a card, AND a present!!!!" She was so thrilled to tell me about EVERYTHING , and the fact that she helped to pick it all out.
That night Shawn put both girls to bed without any help from me, and the celebrating continued throughout the weekend. Including sleeping in tell 8:30, breakfast in bed, lunch with my sister, a dance recital where Brylie shinned in her "under the sea" routine. (actually it was pretty bad, she had no idea what she was suppose to be doing, but at least she is still young enough that EVERYTHING is cute.) Date Night included dinner and a movie with Shawn, and Saturday we were even able to meet up with my parents for dinner on their way home from Ireland.
I feel completely spoiled, and so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family that make everyday fun! Thanks so much everyone!
P.S. I also TOTALLY appreciated all of the facebook comments, I felt very popular! :)

Oh Ash. You already know I completely agree that birthdays should be over the top. So I'm so glad that you had a great one. Shawn did awesome from the sound of things. Give him a high five!! I also love your to do list as well as your accomplishments. I just gotta say that swimming with dolphins in one of my biggest dreams. And I wanna be there for the bikini reveal! ;) haha Glad you had a good one.
Happy late birthday! I totally agree it should be a birthday week!! I love the list of things to do and done! I vote you have a baby soon!!! :D
You need to have Shawn teach Danny a few things about Birthday's. I am lucky to get a present. I am so glad you had a happy week.
I hope you had a great birthday. I'm glad to see that you accomplished so many things before you turned 25. That is cool. (I only got one of mine.) I hope you have a gret year!
