My Day

Monday was my 28th Birthday! Daniel is now officially married to an older woman! Ha ha! Even if only for 6 weeks.

My day was just wonderful! I really couldn't have asked for a better day! I woke up to hugs and kisses from my darling daughter! Who also handed me a beautiful gift and card (both handmade!) and who brought me breakfast in bed after! She's such a lovebug! The most thoughtful girl a mom could have! (Dan is a sleeper. He was sleeping in.)

It took us a while to get out of the house in the morning (as usual). So we did A & W in the car for lunch! Yum! Then we started my day in South Edmonton Common for a couple stops there and to meet up for a little bit with my best friend Amanda.

Then, we used a voucher I had for a new place called Twisted Yogurt. It was so cool! There's a whole wall of different flavours of frozen yogurt and a million toppings! It's all self-serve. So I picked two kinds of frozen yogurt. Purple Cow and Pomegranate! Then I went crazy on the toppings! I had some blueberries, sour worms, Dino Sours, Skor bits, pineapple and CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH!!! I love that stuff! I was so pumped!

Here's what it looked like:

Daniel picked two kinds of frozen yogurt as well, except he got fancy and layered them with toppings in the middle. It may look all healthy on top with the kiwi, but the hidden layer in the middle is filled with gummies!

Here's a look:

Layla picked Bubble Gum flavored frozen yogurt. She also topped hers with a maraschino cherry. She's the only one in our family who likes them! Her only wish was that she had put in more Swedish Berries.

Here's hers:

After that, it was off to West Edmonton Mall! I had the whole day off work and I wanted to spend my Birthday shopping! I'm not necessarily a shopaholic or anything, it's more that I never have the time to just shop. I only seem to be able to go if I'm desperate for something, and even then it's a super quick in and out stop. No strolling and window shopping. So that was what I wanted to do! It was lovely!

Here's Dan and Layla checking the place out!

I saw this in Chapters, and it cracked me up! It was a real paper doll book!

Luckily, I had some gift cards to use, so I was able to go shopping without spending much money! It was so fun!

For dinner, I picked to go to Red Lobster. Neither Layla or Daniel had been there before, and I think I have only been there once or twice before. My mom being severely allergic to fish and seafood played a big part in my family never going there. It was so good!

So that was my special day! Next, we'll recap Layla's awesome day!
