birthday part deux

My Saturday started out like this. A bumpy ride with my hubby trying to get me mental GPS of course. He finally did. I am one that is HARD to SURPRISE because I find out everything. But he pulled it off. He was even able to keep the kids quiet, and they cant hold water. My husband is the sweetest, most loving man I know. I am a lucky woman.

Happy Birthday via Palomar Hotel. Beautiful  place. I have passed it many times, and have wanted to stay. Being a décor lover, this was a dream.

Enters the VELVET TACO. A new spot here in Dallas on Henderson & 75N. By far the best I have had in the city, or ever to be honest. I went with a breakfast taco, and a chicken..oh and corn, and red velvet cake topped with butterscotch. DON’T JUDGE ME.

This is where things get a little of course.

(I AM SURE SOME ARE SAYING I AM NUTS)

I missed MY KIDS, and wanted to enjoy my evening with them also. So we decided to go pick them up and bring them along. When it comes down to it, my family makes me happy. Although they got on my nerves a bit being “kids”… I will always remember this birthday, and so will they. We had a wonderful evening, just the way I wanted.

The smiles I see in this photo is what made me smile.

Tam,

Posts like this make my heart smile! You are truly blessed. My kids are 14 and 9 and I probably would have done the same thing. I love family time and it's weird how even going to dinner or a movie w/ the hubbs will make me miss them and wish they were there.
Kudos to your hubby for putting together such a fabulous birthday for you. The Palomar is gorgeous! And how about that cake?! YUM ;0)

Thanks for sharing!

And he's sexy...good Lord...hey, you know it, I'm sure that factored into why he became the hubby. And he's certainly lucky...you're a LEO! LOL

As a mom and very family oriented person, I totally understand why you went back and got the kids. I enjoy being surrounded by family. I told my husband that we'll have enough alone time once they hit 18. For now, we need to cherish these years to make great memories to keep us company when they fly the nest.
