This weekend we celebrated Chris "Bear's" Birthday! We had such a great time with our family and friends. This year Chris picked the Olive Garden to celebrate his day. This was a wonderful unexpected surprise being that we usually go to Fiesta. Since we were celebrating 5 days before his actual birthday I was so worried that his present wouldnt make it in time but I was pleasantly surprised when it showed up the same day as our dinner. I went ahead and gave Chris his present which wasnt actually a surprise anyway. It was his fight shorts for his upcoming debut fight on December 19th in Columbia Tennessee. The shorts are green and yellow in true UO fashion with a snake on them and I must say he looked pretty cute in them! We are all sooo excited to attend his fight! This Friday was a rushed day at work for me. I had to go pick up his Birthday cake during lunch so we could be ready to leave that night and make it to the restaurant by 7. His cake was also green and yellow representing the Oregon Ducks even more than his shorts :) He loved them both! We had a very yummy Italian dinner at Olive Garden. Kal-el loved looking around and socializing with everyone he is such a little flirt. After we all devoured several rounds of bread, salads and showed no mercy to our entrees it was time to cut the cake. I was glad at this point that I opted to leave the actual Oregon Duck off. I'm a little weird about cutting into things sometimes. Dont ask me about the year that Mom put my face on a cake. Ouch! lol...This year Chris's cake was mint flavored. He loves mint. I'm not so crazy about it so this is one year that he doesnt have to worry about his wife eating all his cake up! After we were all stuffed Chris and I headed to the mall with two of our friends Jody and Candice while super headed home with Mimsy, Nannie, and Poppa. As we walked in the door we all notice the sexy santa lingerie. Everyone is oohing and ahhing at all the lace, ruffles, fur, and feathers. Then here come Chris and I and Chris makes a statement that is a dead giveaway that we are parents. He reaches for the one that is the sexist number in the store , eyes then ensemble holds it up glances at the crotch that apparently snaps and announces with pride and in a serious fashion something that is very familiar to us..."Oh look Lauren its a onesie". I wasnt much better I look up in mommy mode tilt my head sideways and affirm his statement. "Well look at that babe it is!" LOL Ever the parents we are! After doing a little shopping we bid our friends farewell and called it a night. Kal-el was already asleep when we arrived home so we settled into bed as well. We had a great night celebrating Chris's Birthday! I love you Chris Bear and I look forward to many more Birthdays together! Saturday morning Chris had to work so Mom and I decided that we would take Kal-el to the mall to visit Santa. My sweet son was virtually unimpressed with the chunky guy in the red suit and Mommy was pretty unimpressed with the more horrible than expected photograph quality but its super's first Christmas so I knew it was a must! To our dismay when we arrived at the mall for this tradition we soon realised that we were without Kal-el's stroller! Noooooo! We spotted an empty Sears bugee looking lonely and just begging for a child to be put in it to be rolled around Sears only we didnt stay in Sears we gave the bugee the ride of a lifetime all over the entire mall. We looked like crazy people I'm sure. We looked even crazier when Kal-el realised that Mimsy was walking around sipping on a smoothie and he didnt have one. Mom appeased him by feeding him a little through the straw but one taste is never enough so while he protested loudly for more sips, she quickly obliged as I pushed the gorgeous Sears cart around! Needless to say I was thrilled when we arrived home finally!
Sunday was paci no more for Kal-el. Before you think I'm a mean mommy and Chris is a mean Dadada you need to hear my philosophy. I'm a firm believer that children have the rest of their lives to be miserable adults lol so I would never begrudge my sweet baby of his paci if he were just crazy about one BUT Kal-el is only mildly partial to his paci as matter of fact its usually only a last resort for him if hes bored but he rarely protest if we take it out of his mouth. That being said we have tapered down to using the paci as a bedtime source of comfort and during the day he is just fine with not having it. This is working great so far. This is going to be such a busy month with Chris's first MMA fight, Nannie and Poppa's 60th wedding anniversary, and Kal-el's First Christmas! I look forward to experiencing and sharing all three :)
