SURPRISE! Will, had actually planned something for us without me knowing! I never expect it really because it always requires planning ahead, which can be hard for both of us. ;-) Anyways, he said I couldn't have my present until a little later, so we just hung out a little when he got home from work, (which he managed to get off early, which is also VERY rare) So then the doorbell rang and my mom was here! (Now, I kind of DID know she was coming, but I just thought it was so she could be here to hang out with us and eat and maybe we'd go out all together or something?) So, I opened my present which is what he had been working on:
He bought the box at Michaels, and added some beautiful artwork to it. He did the wood burning, which is impressive for his first time, I must say, and then the inside is just awesome too. He found a way (via TouTube :)) to transfer a picture onto the wood, It looks really cool, and then each of the kids put their hand prints in the bottom.
Inside he also go me this:
And also inside was 2 tickets to see Oz: The Great and Powerful at 6:30 and an envelope of 3 restaurant choices. I guess we were going out together! I'd say he hit a home run with this one. Thanks Hun! It was a fun night for sure. And thanks mom for watching the kids!
Earlier in the day I DID still make myself a cheesecake for dessert, so I did know we would be having that. :) I found the recipe on Allrecipes, of course HERE. Read the comments for extra tips, I didn't do it exactly as it said, added a water bath and some sugar to the crust etc., but it was great! I also may have cooked it a bit too long, but it was still good!
So I'd say it was a great birthday, and I have a wonderful husband and family! Thanks!
