We have this thing in our family where we like to drag out our birthday celebrations for as long as possible. It is common to hear the phrase "it's my birthday" for the month surrounding the birthday of the person desiring a little special treatment or an excuse to sit on the couch and eat rainbow chip icing by the spoonful (me last night).
My birthday was on Monday & was extra special this year because we got to celebrate all weekend with our sweet friends from Texas. Andrew, Renata & baby Owen were here for 5 days full of birthday celebrations! Another reason it was extra special is because Andrew I share the same birthday...double the fun!
We loved getting to catch up with them & enjoy their sweet baby boy Owen who was born in December. Charlotte was very interested in Owen & was actually very gentle minus the occaional eye poking or body slam : ) We spent alot of time just talking and laughing. This couple loved us so much that they helped us move from Dallas to Orlando 2 years ago this month. We were so thankful to have them to keep us company during the LONG drive! They are so kind, so thoughtful, so loyal & such precious friends to us. We miss living close to each other but the visits are always wonderful!

The celebration started in Winter Park where we had dinner, without children thanks to our friends Eric & Jen who spent the evening with our little ones
On Saturday we went to Canaveral National Seashore & got some sunshine
It was the big 3-0 for Andrew & he has talked about wanting a pinata for quite sometime so Robby ordered one online and we had some good laughs trying to beat the candy out of it
Andrew loves candy as much as I do & he gave me all of these chewy sweet tarts....one of my all time favs! Thanks man!
For the actual birthday, we spent the afternoon at Downtown Disney then Robby cooked us my favorite dish he makes, chicken tacos. We ended the night with some 24 : )
What a great weekend! Thank you friends and family for making me feel so special with your cards, emails & facebook messages : ) They were much appreciated! Thank you Jensen family for being our friends. We love you dearly and look forward to our next visit with you!
I'm so glad you had such a nice birthday! I love all the pics, but especially the one of the 3 of you at the beach! I love your suit and you look beautiful and your hubby and baby look so cute too! can't wait til your hear...5 weeks :)
