happy birthday to you
happy birthday dear aunt jen,
happy birthday to you!
{and many more}
on october 3rd, my sister jen, the youngest of my 6 siblings, turned the 30!
she kicked her heels up and danced the night away the weekend before,
and the weekend after, she had a much more mellow celebration with me and the boys.
we didn't tell her how we'd be celebrating {i know she loves surprises}.
i just asked her to dress casual and to be hungry.
the boys and i picked her up on sunday mid-morning,
had her favorite coffee drink in hand, and headed downtown.
when we got near the ferry landing, she knew we were heading to coronado
{because that's the only place the ferry goes}. *grin*
after a little playing in the sand by the water,
we headed over to peohes for brunch.
the birthday girl hadn't been {as well as any of us}, so it was a treat for all.
we ate outside on the patio enjoying the sunshine and the view of the water and san diego's skyline.
the restaurant even had a personalized message on jen's menu wishing her a happy birthday!
{they rolled it up for her and she got to take it home}
it was a day full of surprises for the birthday girl and one that brought lots of smiles.
the boys and i sure enjoyed celebrating with auntie jen and hope this will be her best decade yet!
