Happy Birthday to Me!

April 17th, I turned the big 26! I know, so old :) For my birthday, Chris had arranged for all of our friends to have a couples night out and celebrate on Saturday night. Since my birthday was actually on Friday, Chris wanted to do something special. Brace yourselves because he may be the sweetest husband in the world! He picked me up for lunch and took me to the park. He had packed us a picnic and we ate, walked around the lake, played on the swings, and of course, fed the ducks! That night, he decided he wanted to do more so Mimi & Poppy took the boys to dinner with them and Chris overdid himself! You see, Chris has a little aluminum boat that he takes on a fishing trip with "the guys" every spring. They fish all day while floating downstream, pull over to the bank, cook over a fire, sleep in tents, and do it all over again for 3 days! Well, I was wanting to go out on this lil "dingy"... So Chris packed us dinner & a bottle of wine and, you guessed it, we pulled the boat down to the lake behind moms house and paddled off! Yes, paddled...no motor on this boat! It was so much fun! We laughed ourselves silly while enjoying the sunset. When we got back, our lil men were ready to help us clean out the boat and eat birthday cake with mommy! The following night, we met all the couples at Wasabi for dinner. Sarah informed the waiter that it was my birthday without me knowing so out they came with cake, THE HAT (dreadful!), and singing! Afterwards we went around Knoxville and had a great time....lots of new experiences that night :) Thanks babe for always making my birthday so special! You're the best! And thanks guys for coming out and celebrating with us! Our couples nights are always so much fun :) Enjoy the pictures!
