Yesterday we celebrated Mike's 28th birthday. Leilani and I woke him up in the morning with his favorite McDonald's breakfast and a handmade birthday card from Leilani. He then got to do exactly what he wanted: play his video game for a few hours. Then, while Leilani napped, I picked up KFC for lunch. (I know, lots of fast food in one day!) Then I filled up the brand new pool I bought Leilani in hopes that we could all sit outside as a family and enjoy the warm (and dry) weather while she and I played in the water. No such luck. The clouds rolled in and didn't allow the sun to warm the pool water. It was freezing!
For dinner, we went out to Famous Dave's in Brookfield with Mike's mom. The barbecue was great. (But it's hard not to compare it to the barbecue we get down South. which is awesome.) Then we stopped for shakes on the way home.
All in all, it was a nice, yet low key birthday. But that's okay. My gift to Mike is a weekend getaway and tickets to see Aziz Ansari in Minneapolis. So that'll be his "real" birthday celebration. Did I mention that Mike's mom will be watching Leilani while we're gone? Two whole nights without her. Part of me is going to be heartbroken without her. The other part, the much much smaller part, will enjoy the weekend of tranquility. To top of the weekend, Sunday is Father's Day, so we'll have to plan a little something when we get back to Milwaukee.
What a busy and fun few days... all circulating around Mike. Who I love beyond words!
