Turning the Big 4-0


My 40th Birthday-September 17, 2010

Since Cooper leaves for school at 7:15 a.m., we woke up at dark o'clock to have an early morning celebration.  There were decorations, hats, and a new family tradition...The Birthday Donut!!








The kids and Jeff had planned a fun, little birthday party for me.  I opened my presents (lovely bracelet from the kids and a new ipad from Jeff!), had a large slice of glazed chocolate donut cake (Jeff had special ordered my favorite donut from the local Donut shop) and a couple cups of coffee.  Then Jeff and I dropped the kids at school and headed to the San Francisco Airport.  Jeff had a planned a surprise weekend away to....




Long Beach!?!?  Turns out it was just a stop until we caught the Catalina Express...Catalina Island was our final destination. 


My 18 ounce Margarita- Friday Night





We had a wonderful weekend.  It was a fabulous break.  We ate delicious food, enjoyed a lovely Art Festival, sipped fancy drinks, and spent a lot of time just relaxing.  It was the perfect birthday present.
