Happy Birthday Mommy!!!!!

We wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday to the best mother, wife, and friend a husband and our children could possibly wish for. You are selfless, loving, patient, and do everything you can in every way to make our lives better and never ask for anything in return.

We love you so much and hope you have a great day...even if it did start at 3:30 am when the house alarm went off and sent Corbin into a terrified screaming fit... :)

So last night, Corbin, Claire, and I took Sara to the Aquarium for an early birthday dinner.

The kids were very excited because they were going to see all of the fish...and of course the first place we walked into upon entering the restaurant was the Gift Shop...luckily we were able to escape without damage (that part came after dinner) and we headed upstairs.

The kids loved the huge aquariums with all of the big fish.

As difficult as it was, we managed to wrangle the kids into sitting down and as usual Claire did a good job of eating and Corbin was force fed a few scraps of food before escaping to get a closer look at the fish.

...and the kids posed with promise of a prize from the gift shop...

As we were leaving, Corbin, Claire, and mommy hand in hand, we spotted the sea turtle and shark snuggling together taking a nap. The kids loved it.

After the kids each picked out a stuffed animal to add to the vast collection at home, all was right in the world and we set off for home. It was a fun night and a great way to spend a birthday dinner with mommy.

We love you.
