Happy Birthday to me

Today is my birthday, my day, it feels special! It feels more special because I have my baby girl with me!

I woke up this early this morning and bought Emmeline into bed with me so we could doze together, but she had other plans and a little after 7am she started to try to gauge my eyes out to wake me up! So up I got but I decided that we would stay in bed for a while. So I went through to the lounge to get my new blackberry phone and saw that Xavi had handmade me some decorations saying ‘feliz cumpleaños’ and loads of hearts for me – such a sweetie. Got my coffee and large bowl of coca pops and got back into bed. I put on my greys anatomy DVD and there I sat with Emmeline watching TV, still in my pj’s and feeling super happy! Xavi cam home briefly, wished me happy birthday and left again giving me time, a lot of time, to get dressed and ready for lunch! I put on a pretty dress, pretty shoes and pretty make up and felt like a girl, thrilled to be leaving the house, my tracksuit bottoms and milk stained t shirt behind me!

We met my parents and went for a lovely meal in Little Italy restaurant in Borne. I opted for the steak, so rare it was practically still moving – just how I like it! Mom and dad bought me some lovely little silver earrings and a beautiful silver bracelet which I have not taken off all weekend! Love them! We had a lovely meal talking; laughing and playing pass the parcel with Emmeline! I get on so well with my parents that it just feelings like I am out with friends! We had a great time however by 3pm I felt pooped! So me and Xavi headed home with an equally tired baby! When we got home, Xavi admitted that he had not bought me anything as he wanted to buy me a pair of shoes in a shop around the corner, but he wanted to be sure that they were what I wanted. Uh of course! More shoes, yaay! I told him that we could go and get them the following day as he was so tired, but around18:30 I changed my mind, pouted at Xavi and off we went to buy them.

But boo hoo, they did not fit nicely! Knee high boots are made for girls with slim calves. Mine are not huge, but they have muscle and larger than the average calf, this makes buying knee highs an absolute nightmare and quite often impossible to find any. I have to opt for boots that finish just below the calf. This means that the beautiful boots that he was going to buy me were bunching just below the calf, something they were not designed to do! So we left empty handed! However fear not, the next day we went shopping and I bought a gorgeous pair of tan brown boots with buckles that finish just below the calf – love them and am so loving my shoe cupboard! Xavi has bought me so many pairs of shoes since we have been together! He really is my fairy god father of shoes! I finished the day by blowing out the candles on the chocolate cake that Xavi bought me and then having 2 large portions of this yummy cake!

All in all a perfect day!
