It was so nice to just be with my family. Now I know what my parents meant when they used to tell my brother and I that all they wanted was to be with our family on their bdays. I thought that was so lame at the time....but now I totally get it! Funny how that works, right? :)
We started out the morning with a family of four brunch at The Carillon...and it was yummy. They told us that we did not need to pay for Braden (since he was only two), and that he could just eat off our plates. Well when they saw that he probably ate more than both Chris and I combined, I think they might have wished they would have re-thought that decision. :) That boy loves him some breakfast when he gets in the right frame of mind. Just like his Daddy! :)
Breakfast is the bomb.com. :)
After brunch I had been wanting to check out the Umlauf Sculpture Gardens for quite some time...so we did. :) We spent some time there walking around and laughing at Braden posing with the statues. Why is he so funny? :) 
Hello Donkey!
Hello Rhino!
Hello person I don't know... :)
Hello javelina!
And hello to my friend the rooster!
Loving up some lilly pads...
It was plaid short day. :) 
I got to take a nap which rocked!! And then my birthday cake was actually Ben and Jerry's. Very nice work! :) 
We could not take a picture without Braden trying to lick it the entire time. You would think we give this boy sweets all the time since he is so into them right now...but I promise we don't! :)
Brant's look is like "Get me outta here...they are nuts!" :)
Chris and Braden went to one of our friend's one year old birthday party late that afternoon...and then it was time to get cleaned up and ready for our date night. Solo. Babysitter. Oh yes.I chose Uchiko for my bday this year for a number of reasons.
1) I had never been there before so that might have been the biggest reason.
2) We love Uchi...it is just fabulous, so we knew this had to be good.
3) We love sushi and I was craving it big time.
4) I had heard great things from friends about the chefs there....and I wanted to see if for myelf.
Let's just say that we were mighty happy when we left that night!! SO GOOD!! Awesome birthday dinner date. :)
Hottie husband, cool food, cool presentation, cool everything...
Chicken karage......three words---TO.DIE.FOR! :) 
We had incredible sushi and roasted edamame...and then last but not least was this pure goodness of a dessert. Oh yes-fried milk. Delightful! :) 
Awesome birthday..but I am still denying that I turned another year older! :)
