A Birthday Surprise

Mark and I have birthdays only 4 days apart so it's always a party week! This year we both turned 25....

Okay, not really, but isn't this a cool cake? For Mark's birthday we kidnapped him from work and took him to a park for lunch.

Then we went Frisbee golfing that night. The course we went to had a ravine going through it so of course we had to rescue one of our Frisbees that got pulled in. We had fun making up our own rules for the course.

I had to throw this in... Adriana's hair is getting long so we try to put little clips or bands in it, but she likes to take them out. :)

For my birthday Mark surprised me by flying my sister Emily down for a few days! I'm sure my face would have been great on film when I answered the door to see her standing there! Mark really got me this year. Her daughter, Kathryn, is 6 months younger than Adriana so they always have fun too.

We enjoyed hanging out and also saw a few things in Dallas. 

We went to the Dallas Arboretum which was awesome and all in bloom. The girls fell asleep on the way there, but enjoyed all the flowers and water fountains once we got there.

This is pretty close to downtown Dallas as you can see in the distance. This is White Rock Lake.

The flowers were all so beautiful. I loved the colors of these ones.

Adriana had lots of fun giving hugs and kisses to Kathryn.

We sure miss them, but it was fun to have some time together! Thanks Mark for making it such a great birthday!!!! And thanks Emily for coming and hanging out with us for a little while, we loved it!



Here is a little video of the endless hugs Kathryn got while they were here.
