Last weekend the birthday celebrations continued to roll on in. On Friday, I celebrated the big 4-0 and started the day with this very uplifting card from Lyla. I looked at the front of the card (on the left) and asked her, “Is that me crying because I’m turning 40?” and her reply was that it was her crying. I opened the card and felt even better! So, Lyla, no we can’t go back in time, and sometimes I wouldn’t mind, but I had no idea it was bumming her out more than it was me!!
It was the warmest March 11 that I’ve remembered in a very long time, so Mark and I enjoyed a nice evening to head out to dinner at Reston Town Center.
I knew we were planning to have dinner at a fun restaurant there, Bartaco, but Mark surprised me with having Shen, G, and Bo meet us there for dinner as well. It was a beautiful day, and I got to spend it with some of my favorite people, so it was a good day by me – even if I was turning 40.
The next day we continued the celebrating with more of Lyla’s birthday. This time it was a roller skating party with her cousins and a few of her friends from school. The girls all had a lot of fun skating to their favorite songs and having pizza and cake. Lyla said she had a blast, and she certainly didn’t seem to mind stretching out her birthday celebrating into the weekend!
