Celebrating 31

My birthday celebration came early this year.  We got a babysitter on Thursday night for the first time and left Ellis behind for some adult fun.  I put on heels and curled my hair - all on a week night!

We went to the Ridge Wine Bar and the Honeymoon.  The Ridge had a band that played a Bob Dylan album.  I was so happy that so many friends could come out…especially the moms!

Thursday was only the beginning.  Friday, Jake and I took Ellis to the Lynden Fair. Saturday, Ellis and I met the Hayden’s for the Bite of Bellingham then had dinner with Karli and Katie at Bayou on Bay.  We had a second babysitter so Jake joined us at Uisce and then Jake and I went to the casino. 

Finally, we spent Sunday (my actual birthday) at Sampson winery with a bottle of red, my parents, and a picnic.  My birthday present from Jake was a Droid Incredible 2 which means I FINALLY upgraded to a smart phone!  I am hoping that I will be better about capturing photos and videos of Ellis with my new toy. 

I had such a fun weekend but did a horrible job documenting.  I can’t believe a year has passed since we found out we were having a baby and now she is here to celebrate with.  Even though we didn’t have a huge party this year, I had such a perfect weekend.  Everything with Ellis around is just that much better.
