We celebrated my birthday this past weekend. I can count on one hand the amount of times since I've been a mother that we've gotten a babysitter and have gone and had some grown-up fun. This is because we require so many babysitters just to allow Dan and I to work, with all of his travelling and all of my weird hours. It feels a bit frivolous to have a babysitter come not because we HAVE to but because we actually WANT to indulge ourselves a little.
So, we had our big night out with a our favorite local couple, the Thackstons. For a few glorious hours I was not a doc and not a mom but just some chic boozing it up a bit. We went to a new hotspot in town, Can-Can, for some French food, then we walked down Cary Street to Bev's for some hand-made icecream. Then we took the party back to our house so the babysitter could leave and we had some more drinks on the deck while the kids slept. My last two birthdays have not been particularly festive, so it felt GREAT to CELEBRATE!
I got exactly what I wanted for my present -- another "Cole & Graham" necklace. I got one for Christmas and I wear it everyday to keep my babies close to my heart. I asked for another one so I can mix up my colors a bit. Great gift for all the moms and grandmoms in your life, by the way!
Birthdays are AWESOME!
