{Cue the dramatic violin music}
Gone are the days of birthday nights on the town staying up until 4am and ordering brunch at noon when you woke up. Now it's adult stuff like kids activities, work and no time for fun.
I supposed 33 isn't really a big year and being pregnant makes it harder to enjoy some birthday drinks, but I still pouted that Derek had to work almost all weekend. That being said, he did surprise me beautiful flowers and his 11th annual birthday cookie cake. Yep, he bought me my first one back in 2004 and always would hand deliver them to work each year. Unfortunately now I have to share now not only with him, but my in-sinkerator toddler as well. Momma doesn't like to share her cookie cake.
We also braved the snow storm to enjoy a delicious cinnamon roll from Panera before heading to Sky Zone with Drew. That whole 'trying not to gain too much this pregnancy' isn't working out too well for me.
I did see all of our family members through skype/facetiming so that always makes it a good day. Drew also took a great nap and was able to get some stuff around the house in comfy clothes, so I'd say that was a win.
I ended the night with my Kaliber NA beer and the most depressing birthday meal ever; kids corn dogs, mac n cheese (leftover, not fresh) and canned pineapple. Pathetic, right? Thankfully there was cookie cake to devour after and a comfy bed to pass out in by 9:30.
I guess in the end, it wasn't that bad. Cinnamon rolls, cookie cake and comfy clothes are actually an awesome trifecta!

Happy late birthday sweet lady! I think drew taking a nice nap sounds like an awesome present. Naps are few and far between around here.
ReplyDeleteBut that banana has to cancel out some of the bad (but oh so good) cinnamon roll, right?! So you're totally winning ;) Honestly, aside from your dinner, the day sounded perfect to me! Happy 33rd to you!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!! Celebrating isn't the same as it used to be but it's still pretty darn good!
ReplyDeleteLOL Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy late Birthday sweet friend!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Birthday, still sounds like a great day! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you!!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! I remember feeling the same way when I turned 30 last year... hard to fully celebrate when you are pregnant and tired :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteCinnamon rolls, cookie cake and comfy clothes sounds like a dream. I'm going to ask for all of that on my 34th birthday, which is just next month. ACK.
Happy belated Birthday! Birthdays sure are different now with kids, haha! That cookie cake sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a pretty nice birthday to me! Any day with a giant cookie cake has to be good right? :)
ReplyDeleteI'd take that birthday! Cinnamon rolls and cookie cake in one day? Yes, please!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha you crack me up...yes birthdays have definitely changed!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! I think I'm going to start making my hubby get me a cookie cake on my birthdays. Sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect birthday if you ask me!! :) Glad it was a good one!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great birthday in the food department!
ReplyDeleteHappy late birthday! Sometimes the best birthdays are the ones spent relaxing with family and good food :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!! And, I want to see that bump of yours :)
ReplyDeleteI'm all about a laid back birthday. But this year is my 30th, so I'm thinking a slightly bigger celebration is in order. I may grab myself a cookie cake though because those things are yummy.
ReplyDeleteLOL, it's hard sometimes to reconcile how much life has changed, even when you're (mostly) happy and thankful for where you're at now. My 32nd birthday was a couple of weeks ago, and there definitely wasn't much partying going on here since I had an 8 day old. It's just..different... and it's okay to miss the wild and crazy birthdays too. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Sounds like a fantastic day to me!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday. Sometimes it's nice that birthday's aren't such a 'big deal'.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect birthday to me!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 33rd! Cinnamon rolls and cookie cakes.... SOLD!! Hope you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! I always have really high expectations for my birthday and then end up disappointed, so I'm determined to keep it low-key this year so that I'll be pleasantly surprised if anything exciting does happen. Your cookie cake looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! Isn't it funny to see how much your life has changed? Even though life with kids is slower, I find myself very content. Hope you had a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!! Beautiful flowers for a beautiful person. I hope it was a fabulous day for you!
ReplyDeleteUMMMM... happy birthday!!! (and yes, we're Journey-Sara(h) friends... totally meant to be!) I love the flowers... and I totally want some of that cookie... and if it helps, my birthday was BEYOND lame in December. Because we were iced in. AND THERE WAS NO CELEBRATION. So I feel you. But - hello amazing flowers and cookie! ;) Totally a win in my book!
ReplyDeleteBirthdays just aren't the same as you get older huh? I haven't done anything too exciting since my 30th.
