30th Birthday: Day 1-Gifts and Skating

So Prince Charming planned quite the birthday weekend for me. It started by opening gifts in the morning.

My wonderful husband bought me a wonderful camera. Here is a picture of both.
That night we headed to the same roller rink where I had my 6th birthday party. Oh and if you are wondering what I looked like then.........
...........just take a look at the cake. Yes, that is a picture of me when I was 6. This is what happens when your husband along with your children go to order your birthday cake. You end up with an embarrassing picture adorning a Strawberry shortcake cake. It was delicious!

So our kids had never been to a skating rink so it was so nice to have the whole place to ourselves.
Now I think there were better pictures of B.W. skating but this one cracks me up!
Curly Bear did get the hang of it quickly and wasn't a permanent wall fixture.
Cuddlebug absolutely loved skating and was very comfortable skating off on her own.
So when I was 6 I got to ride in this big skate and somehow my husband convinced the owner to overlook the age 10 limit. My kids thought this was absolutely hilarious!
It was a great night with family and friends. The only thing that was drastically different from my 6th birthday to my 30th was how sore I was once I got home. The next morning I woke up feeling great though and all set for the next day of birthday fun!
