Birthday Surprise!

Grand America! View from our balcony of the courtyard!

My roses and presents. Mike gave me some much needed new scrubs, Harry Potter books on CD, and a red bronze frog named "Romeo". I was especially excited about the last gift because it is something that Mike and I have loved looking at when in Vegas. It was from an art gallery called "Galleria Di Sorrento" sent from Caesar's Palace! He remembered how much I loved them, and I loved how thoughtful he was.
My Birthday cake ~ it was soooooo delicious!Chocolate covered strawberries!!! I thought is was so cute how they looked like they had little tuxedos on! You can see the frog he gave me in the upper left hand corner.

Our breakfast! French toast with caramel sauce and a breakfast croissant. It was so fun to have room service!

Mike surprised me for my 30th Birthday, and surprise he did! I had no idea what he had up his sleeve, just that my mom was watching the kids last Friday night until Saturday afternoon (thanks mom!). When we drove up to the Grand America I was shocked! It was so beautiful and elegant! The valet parked our car and then we went up to our room on the 22nd floor. It was the executive king suite and it was gorgeous! When I walked in the first thing I saw was a beautiful bouquet of roses, just past the roses was the yummy chocolate cake! Yes, I told Mike I would go off my chocolate fast just for this weekend. Then, on the bed were rose petals in a heart shape. I was so taken away and completely surprised. That night we enjoyed a wonderful dinner and had room service bring breakfast up in the morning! Then we headed down to the spa for one more surprise, a massage! It was so wonderful and just what I needed. I turn 30 on the 30th of this month and I loved having an early surprise! He definitely did such a spectacular job spoiling me, I love him so much and am so grateful for such a wonderful weekend! Thank you Mike, you really did put a lot of planning and thought into this, and the best part of the weekend was being able to spend time with you. Love you!

Looks like fun! I was wondering for who was the rest of the silverware for? I couldn't help but notice there was 4 forks with the cake, planning on company? Looks like you guys had a good time! Happy early Birthday!

Wow...I'm very impressed! Way to go Mike! Love Ben to death, but he doesn't have a romantic bone in his body and would never think of doing all that. How fun!!! Happy Birthday!
