Happy Birthday Mommy!

"Mommy Melissa's" birthday isn't until tomorrow, but we celebrated yesterday so as to be able to do the event justice.  Sylvie sent Mommy to the spa in the morning for a massage, and then managed to talk Daddy into driving to Mommy's favorite restaurant to surprise her with some take-out sushi for lunch (Daddy just does not get that).

Mommy opened presents after lunch - a lunch which included some shared blueberries, which explain Mommy's gothic-looking "lipstick" in a few of the photos!

Granting a birthday wish

Then last night Aunt Mary came and stayed with Sylvie, while Daddy took Mommy out to her favorite city restaurant for dinner.

Mommy reports total satisfaction with her pre-birthday celebration.
