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!
I am thankful for so many things, too many things to list in fact. But, I do want to say I am thankful for the everyday moments. Being a mom can sometimes be crazy, but it is filled with small little moments that make everyday wonderful. I am so thankful to be a mother. I love being Emily, Brett and Savannah's mom. Here is one of those moments. I was making roll dough for scones and ran downstairs to get more flour when I came up and saw this. Brett sharing dough with Savannah. Aren't they sweet? I am so blessed!
