Saturday Nick and Ellie headed to Universal Studios with their annual passes for some rides and water play at the new water feature area. They went prepared to play in the water armed with towels and bathing suits. This have me three hours to myself (while Cal napped) plus some Cal time while they were out. I spent the morning sewing in peace and quiet where I made a couple bins for Calvin and a skirt for Ellie from one of Nicks old shirts. Cal was pretty happy with his new bib.
Today the first one to wish me a happy birthday was Calvin at just after 1am. Although he was very hungry I did get a big toothless grin from him, which I understood to be his birthday greetings. After I got to sleep in for a while we headed out to Old Town Pasadena to the creperie that we went to on Fathers Day, as we had all enjoyed our meal there. Again we all had a great meal and a good time. Then Ellie and I headed out to get pedicures while Nick and Calvin went on a walk around Old Town.
When we got home Ellie helped me make my cake. She and Nick later decorated it (without me seeing or helping). After we went to dinner we then had cake and presents back at the house.
They family made sure that I had a great relaxing birthday and let me have the free time to do what I wanted to do (I even had an hour where I got to read!). Being back at work and with two kids it was great to have quiet time to myself to sew and read, just what I wanted. And they got me gifts! My necklace now has a 'C' charm to go with my 'E' and the diamond!
