Birthday Festivities

It was my 25th birthday on the 8th, but I haven't had time to post about my birthday festivities because I have been quite busy this past little while. I worked on my actual birthday and I was supposed to work all weekend, but a friend needed a shift swap so I ended up getting the Saturday before my birthday off.

Milena and Mandi came over with their families and we prepared a delicious brunch of waffles, eggs benedict, hashbrowns, fresh fruit, and bacon.

After brunch the girls napped and then we went to a local park for a little jaunt when they woke up. It was so nice to get outside, but we were a little fearful for our back-ends as the path was sheer ice. I walked in the brush beside the path most of the time as I had some trouble remaining upright.

Sawyer chose to skate between her parents rather than walking. We weren't out for long (maybe 45 minutes to an hour) but it was long enough. Sawyer had a meltdown on the way back to the car so her parents took her home early and the rest of us went back to our place where Milena made some delicious supper - asparagus risotto and roasted chicken.

These six (now seven) people make it difficult for me to imagine ever leaving Kelowna. I love them all dearly and thoroughly enjoy being welcomed into their families.

Many more updates to come. I still have Kaden's birth, a visit to the coast and a family birthday celebration to share with you.
