My Birthday Weekend

It has been a crazy busy; yet, super fun birthday weekend! I took Friday off and spent the day with Page. We had a lot of fun at the McCormick Ranch Train Park in Scottsdale. Cole and I plan to take her back one evening when its all lit up. Such a great park, the one here in Gilbert just doesn't compare! Cole and I went to the GoDaddy holiday party Friday night. It was lots of fun as usual, but this year it was extra special because we won $1,000! On Saturday, we went to Makayla's 4th birthday party at Makutu's Island. Page had a blast playing with all the kids! We then went to Cibo's in Phoenix with the family to celebrate mine and Grandma Lu's birthdays. The pizza was amazing, its a new favorite! This morning, Cole and I went on a hot air balloon ride at the Arizona Balloon Festival here in Gilbert. I have been wanting to do this for quite some time, its actually on my bucket list :) Cole surprised me for my birthday! It was amazing!! So gentle and smooth with such great views. The balloon actually stopped in our neighborhood park so Page got to come see us and see a mini-balloon show. It was a perfect birthday present! This afternoon we went to JJ's 1st birthday party at a local park. Page had a blast playing outside! It was a great birthday weekend! Here are a few pictures...I took over 100 ;)
