This year I lucked out and got to have Ti home for my birthday again. I remember as my birthday got closer everyone kept asking what I had planned. At first I actually thought about going out with friends to celebrate - ha! Then I thought about just going on a date with Ti Tonga which is what we normally do. But in the end we spent the day together as a family. It was the kid's last day of summer vacation, so it only seemed fitting to spend the day together. 

Every time someone asks me what I want for a gift, I say "food." Haha. I've got so many restaurants bookmarked, but Ti doesn't really like to go on food adventures like I do. I knew since it was my birthday though, that I could get him to go on a foodie adventure with me ;) So Sunday morning we took the boys downtown and hit up Donut Bar --- finally!! We grabbed a dozen donuts then walked over to Container Park and had breakfast on their patio.

The cutest Butter Beer donut

I was so excited for the "Big Poppa Tart" which ended up being my favorite!

There's an actual pop tart in the donut!

After the kids ate, they rushed to the playground. Me and Ti watched them play for a little and then Ti got up and joined them. Container Park is one of mine & Ti's favorite spots. I'm so glad we finally got to take the kids there. I sat and watched them play and was just so grateful for everything that I had. It was a simple morning with the ones I love the most. It was perfect.

Later that day we had dinner at Cheesecake Factory, then came home and put the boys to bed in time for school the next day. I felt a little guilty that my birthday was the only one that Ti was home for this year, which is why I was so happy to share this day together with my family.
