Phoebe’s 18th birthday!

Phoebe LOVES Christmas! Especially music and lights. So we surprised her with a weekend trip to the Gaylord Texan Resort. We stayed in a room that overlooked the atrium. It was beautiful. We went to Main Street and walked to take pictures of the amazing lights. We also went to the Ice Show which was a Grinch theme. Amazing is an understatement. Aidan, Evan, Nanny and Brianna arrived on Saturday to surprise her. We had her answer the hotel room door after I pretended to call the front desk asking for extra coffee creamer. :) Everyone had a great time. 💕

Happy Birthday to me. ❤️

Damian came over to see me Sunday morning before I got on the road to meet up with Mikey to get Phoebe. He brought me 3 gifts for my birthday.

1) A pair of socks that read “if you can read this, rub my feet”. (he is constantly rubbing my back, legs and feet) 

2) A box of the same English toffee that we had in CA. (It is handmade in Carmel, CA, where we visited. He managed to get a box of them for my bday). 💕

3) A handwritten letter with floor plans for his house. We are talking about moving in together. He wants me to feel like it is OUR house, so he measured the downstairs and created a floor plan using a program he wrote. Then went on to try to explain to me how he had to write code for one of the images since it was so small. 🤷‍♀️🙃🥰

I am absolutely speechless. The thought that went into these gifts, that’s what melts my heart. 

I picked Phoebe up from Mikey and she had this handmade gift for me. I absolutely LOVE them! 

Then I get to work this morning and I have gifts on my desk. Best team ever! 

I’m attaching pictures but I did mark out some text from the letter that wasn’t “share appropriate”. 😉 

Phoebe got stuck rock climbing!

We went to Aidan & Evan's birthday party at Lifetime Fitness today. The last hour of the party was rock climbing. Phoebe got all the way to the top but couldn't get back down because she was too light. She did okay the first few minutes, but then she was getting a little scared when she realized she was stuck. You heard her say really low "I think I'm stuck". Poor thing. Daddy handed me his phone as soon as he realized she may be stuck. He was ready to put on a harness and go get her. The employees took care of it though, they went in the back and did some kind of release. She didn't freak out too much, but the poor thing was scared. Needless to say, she was all partied out after that and was ready to go home. We took her to Wendy's on the way home as a treat for being so brave. She's been wanting to go but we've been trying to stay away from the fast food. She was fine by the time we got to Wendy's.
She was excited and ready to go!

When she first reached the top:

This is while she was stuck at the top: =(

This was when she finally got down and the employee was reaching for her.
