She was actually very pleasant, I think the gifts on the kitchen table helped. I got up early and made her some yummy waffles!! Her first birthday call was from Aunt Jessica and Hayes.
During breakfast, she had to get into all her gifts. I asked her to open a few a lunch, etc...no luck on that. She got some wonderful gift cards, some gum, a Michael Jackson CD and money.
Over the weekend, I was trying to figure out something special to get her--something she would remember and treasure. It was decided to get a ring. She picked out a beautiful garnet and she seems to really love--let's hope she doesn't loose it.
It was a great morning and I can't wait to get home from work and spend the evening with her. I think we will be going shopping now.
Then we had to decide what to eat for the special birthday dinner. Her choice was Tomo Sushi, because she was wanting some chicken teriyaki. They have the best!!
Look at it, doesn't it just look like a work of art. Unfortunately Layne ONLY wanted the chicken.
I did ask her to try the sushi rolls I ordered. I really thought she knew what I had gotten?? So, she was quite surprised when I told her it was avocado eel rolls. She made a face, but I think she kinda liked them.
We were more than stuffed from dinner and desert didn't sound that great, but I wanted to do something. We had already gotten a huge ice cream cake from Cold Stone the week before--so it was apple pies from McDonald's. Tacky, yes--memorable, yes.
Some of her purchases from our shopping spree. You will see a book about Woodstock in there--that is something she wants to learn about. Should be very educational.
At Target, we decided to finish off the night with a movie. Layne wanted to stay up until midnight and make it a complete day. I thought it would be fun to watch something from when I was a teen. I think the Breakfast Club is rated R--although I was probably 13 when I watched it 500 times.
