33 + 3

Jason's 33rd birthday was 3 days ago. It's kind of hard to celebrate mid-week birthdays as an adult. We picked him up at his office to take him to lunch. We don't do this much, actually never, since his office is about 45 minutes away. It is always fun to see him midday. I sent him back to the office with some cupcakes to share with his co-workers. He felt really manly with a cupcake carrier that matched his shirt, can't you tell? It reminded me a little bit of elementary school.
That night he had softball games, so there wasn't much celebrating before or after. We celebrated during one of his games, but it was because of his inside the park home run.

Friday was a better day to celebrate. I wanted to do something different, so I lucked out when I got an e-mail about a LivingSocial deal. We took a ride on the Desert Belle (along with 140 senior citizens) for a cruise around Saguaro Lake. Lots of people commented on how beautiful Hazel is. I think an equal number of people thought she was a boy. One lady was shocked we would take our kids with us to celebrate Jason's birthday. A few people stopped us after to let us know our kids were very well behaved. Jason thought it was random, but we had fun enjoying the pretty scenery and live 40's music with our little family.

After our boat ride, we had a late dinner with a few friends. I got to talk a lot and Jason got to eat a lot of meat. I think we both had a good time celebrating.
