Laren's 24th Birthday

Laren's birthday this year turned out to be a 3 day celebration.

FRIDAY (day 1)

Laren's real birthday was on Saturday, the 4th, but we both were schedualed to work two totally different shifts that day. Lukily we were both able to work things out to where we both had Friday off. I had this whole day planned and was so excited that I couldn't sleep the night before. I woke up around 8 o'clock and decorated the room and wrapped all his birthday gifts. I then ran up stairs and made him breakfast to take to him in bed (waffles topped with raspberries and blackberries with raspberry syrup on the side, a blueberry muffin, and chocolate milk). After Laren opened his gifts from me we got ready and went shopping for new outfits to wear to the show that night. Around 5 o'clock we ate at our favorite Tai resturant AGAIN and we off to downtown denver. We walked the 16th street mall and then watched the Last Comic Standing World Tour. The comedians were so funny and both of us had a blast.

SATURDAY (day 2)

Laren's real birthday. Laren went to work in the morning and I was working the closing shift. He got off around 7 and my manager decided randomly to let me go early, probably realizing that Laren was off and it was going to be a slow night. We rushed to Red Robins to get a real birthday dinner in. After dinner we got a call from Helen, Laren's mom, telling us that Brynn was going into labor. Helen and Larry returned home saying that she was there but it wasn't time for us to go. Thinking we were going to be seeing our new niece that night Helen and Larry gave Laren all his birthday gifts. Turns out Brynn was in false labor.

SUNDAY (day 3)

Sunday was the day we acutally planned to celebrate Laren's birthday as a family. After dinner everyone came over and we opened more gifts and had an amazing ice cream cake.

The weekend was so much fun for everyone! Laren and I really enjoyed our time together and the family was excited that he was here in Colorado. For Laren past three birthdays he has been in Chile.
