It was a great one. That's pretty much all there is to say. It was exactly as I'd hoped it would be.
It started off with a couple of hours at the spa (I got a facial and a haircut). I then came home and had lunch mostly by myself until Trev and the kids came home (from birthday shopping, of course! leaving it to the last minute as always!! :)
Christine and I tried to go to Kingswood to do gymnastics, but we got there too late and the class was full. Oh well... another time... So we came home and had a very pleasant afternoon together while Nicholas napped. When he got up, we headed to my parents house and played for a while. The Masons also came over and we had a nice dinner all together. After putting the kids to bed (at my parents house - yay!), we sat around for a bit and headed to The Rogue for a couple of beers and finger foods. It was just Trev, Kevin and I, but that was just fine by me - a nice quiet evening with some of my favorite people.
I was supposed to sleep in on Sunday, but despite not having the kids here, I still woke up when they normally do and started thinking about them... I couldn't get them out of my head - did they sleep through the night? Did my parents wake up when they got up this morning? How are they doing now? I still took advantage of the empty house to read in bed for a little bit. Then I got up and we had breakfast and headed to my parents to pick up the kids. They had a blast with their grandparents and I think my parents didn't mind it too much either.
Next time (because they said there could be a next time - hurray!), we will bring the monitors so that my mom doesn't sleep on the couch in fear of not hearing them in the night...

Glad I could be there for it Jules, sorry I missed dinner. Looking forward to seeing you guys again next time we're back east.
I am SOOOO jealous! That does sound like the perfect birthday! Glad to see you are taking advantage of the perks of being back in NB and close to family! (and very glad you had a good birthday!!!)
