私の３０歳の誕生日/My Sweet BIG 30 Birthday!!!

私の３０歳の誕生日はこんな感じでした...
So my 30th birthday went like this...

毎朝デイブと一緒に起きられない私とマディソン、いつも通りおでこにチュッしてくれた後デイブは６時半頃に静かに出勤...マディソンと２人で平凡な火曜 日を過ごすつもりで目が覚めて来た時ドアの空く音が聞こえて来ました！そこに居たのは誕生日の風船を持って帰って来たデイブ!!!秘密で今日休みを取って いたデイブは出勤する振りをして朝早く買い物に行ってたらしい：）やった〜！夜誕生日のお祝いをするだけと思っていたら一日中家族で一緒に過ごせるなんて パーフェクト！マディソンも感激です！
Madison and I are usually great sleepers in the morning so we don't wake up with Dave:-( Dave just kisses our forehead and goes to work around 6:30am or earlier. I heard him leave and we kept on sleeping thinking it will be a normal day of taking Madison to her story time and cerebrating my birthday tonight... Well, just when we are waking up and still laying in bed we heard the door open and there was Dave with my birthday balloon and a gift bag!!! He took today off! Madison jumped to her feet and looked very surprised and so was I:-)

Still sleepy Madison, really loving the balloon!
まだ少し眠そうなマディソンはママの風船を握って離さない！

早速急いで仕度をしてチックフィレにいつも試したかった朝ご飯を食べに行く事に...あ〜っ、美味しかった...
We quickly got ready and went to Chickfila for breakfast(I've been wanting to try their breakfast) which was really yummy...

そして、待ちに待ったデイブが毎週火曜日のお話読み聞かせに一緒に行く事が出来ました：）
We were really excited that Daddy got to come to the Story time with us:-)

熊のぬいぐるみを取りに行ってこれから歌いながらダンスをします。歌の題名は忘れちゃったんだけど、ぬいぐるみを上に投げてキャッチした後クルクルと回ります...
She is getting teddy bears to do the teddy bear song(I don't know the title...). Song goes "Throw a teddy bear and catch, turn around turn around..."

“熊を頭の上に乗せてクルクル回って...”
"Put your teddy bear on top, turn around turn around..."

まだ回ってる...：）
Still turning around...:-)

これはハンカチを振りながら踊るんだけど途中で音楽が止まる度にそこで凍らなきゃいけないんです...：）今日は後ろに付いて一緒に踊らなかったけどちゃんと凍っていたのに関心！
We are getting ready to dance to a song that would stop playing in middle of it and we would have to stop and pause a few times...:-) I wasn't dancing behind with her today and she was able to stop and pause at the right time which was impressing!

Spiders are tickling her tummy!
蜘蛛さんがこちょこちょこちょ！

そして、最後にお話の読み聞かせの劇場を出る時に子供達が通るトンネル...パパとちゃんと順番を待っているマディソン：）
At the very end kiddies get to go through a tunnel to leave the story theater... She is waiting for her turn with Daddy:-)

そしてお話読み聞かせの後はプリティウーマンの映画で有名なロデオドライブに直行...“超高級車以外通行不可能”って言うサイン見忘れたぐらい聞いた事も無いヨーロピアン車やポルシェばっかり...ベビーカーのベンツでもあるバガブーがあって良かった！
After Story time we zoomed over to Rodeo Drive for my birthday shopping... I think we missed a sign that says "Porsche, Mercedes, Audi, BMW and a brand of car never seen before are required to drive through Rodeo Drive"... Good thing we had the Mercedes of Strollers!

この歩行通路の段差を上ったり降りたり何百階も繰り返した後休憩中のマディソン...大丈夫ここ車通らないから：）
She was having so much fun going up and down the side walk step like a hundred times! Don't worry cars weren't allowed on this road... She is just taking a break:-)

家に着いたと思ったら３０分後には着替えてデイブが夕食の予約をしていたレストランに急いで出発です。私が雑誌に載っているのを見つけて行ってみたかったダリウスって言うレストランだったんだけど、２人きりでロマンティックな夕食が食べれると思っていたらマディソンも着いて来ちゃった...
We were home for a good half an hour to get changed and were off to a really nice birthday dinner at a restaurant called Delius that I found in a magazine that I really wanted to try...
As you can see, Madison decided to come along...

おつまみのメニューにあったポテトチップスは今までに食べたポテトチップスの中でも一番美味しくってビックリ！日本で言うとコンソメ味に似てたかな...マディソンも超お気に入り！
They had potato chips on their appetizer menu which turned out to be the best potato chips I've ever tasted! Madison agrees!

チップス食べてご機嫌のマディソン...でもこれは前菜の様子、知っている通り子供が良い子にしているのって本当にわずか...
So happy enjoying the chips... but remember this is only an appetizer and you know how short a toddler lasts at dinner table...

動きたくて仕様が無いマディソンは良い子に椅子に座ってくれなくやっと注文が来てとても美味しかったのに、慌てて食べ終わってレストランを後にする事に：（
Madison was all over the place! Refusing to sit in her high chair after she was done with potato chips! We got the yummy entree but had to eat it in 5 minutes so we could get out of there:-(

家の帰りがけにおもちゃ屋さんに寄ってマディソンの半分誕生日にお祝いにおもちゃを一つ買う事にしました...音楽が成る可愛いワゴン車と電車で迷っている間にマディソンは自分で欲しいおもちゃを見つけたみたい。展示用に組み立てて置いてあったお人形用のベビーカーをお店中嬉しそうに押し回っていたのでそれを買ってあげる事に：）なんて簡単！そしてワゴン車も買っちゃいました：）
On the way home from the dinner we stopped by Toysrus Express to pick up a new toy for Madison's half birthday... While trying to decide if we should get her a Little People Mini Van that plays music or a Little People train set, Madison picked a present out herself! They had an open one inside the store and all she did was push it around the store the whole time:-) Easy! and we went with a mini van:-)

家に到着した後、先週焼いたココナツのケーキを使って誕生日ケーキを用意してくれたデイブ！キャラメルで"Happy Birthday"って書きたかったらしいんだけど、ちょっと読めないな〜でも見た目より気持ちが大事、それとおいしい味：）
After we got back Dave turned Coconut Cake I made last week into a birthday cake! He even tried to draw "Happy Birthday" with Caramel Sauce which turned out to be some blurb but it's the thought that counts! and was delicious of course:-)

もちろんマディソンも一緒に味見！
Madison enjoyed some too!

今日一日とても楽しい誕生日を計画してくれてどうもありがとうハニー！ラブ！！
I want to thank my sweet husband for planning this amazing birthday! Love ya!!
