2 Two's Years Old

Last Sunday, I was fulfilling my calling in the Nursery (aka- playing and having a blast teaching the cutest youngsters ever!) One of the little girls held up her hand showing me how old she is while saying, "I am two years old!" I topped her comment by holding up 2 sets of two's with my hands replying, "Well this week I am going to be 2 two's! Her face lit up, and her eyes got wide as if she couldn't believe anyone could be that old:)

So yes- as of yesterday I am 2 two's years old!

I have to say my birthday was made great by the people who love and care about me the most!!

On Monday my mom and grandma came to a live session with me at the SLC Temple. It was so nice enjoying the spirit with my two biggest role models. After we ate at The Garden on the top floor of the Joesph Smith Memorial building via my grandma. It was a really great view and food! My Mom gave me a new camera for my Birthday- I love it! It takes really nice pictures:) Thanks Mom!!

Then on my actual birthday- Jonathan took the day off work... and I really got the special treatment!

First the day started with Breakfast in Bed...


We then got up and Jon surprised me with my first present- when we got married someone gave us a cake platter that turned into a punch bowl. One day it fell and shattered into a million pieces. I was really sad because I thought it was really neat, and I loved it a lot! So when I got out of bed to my surprise there was our cake platter with a huge cupcake underneath it. My first reaction (being tired still) was, "Jon, you fixed it!" But he was thoughtful enough to have found a replacement of the exact one that broke for my birthday! So cute:)



Then we made an oh so excited trip to the DMV! We renewed my license, and officially changed my name to Holli Anne Curtis on it as well. Now I just need to change it in Weber State's records! When we got home we had lunch, Jon sang a solo "Happy Birthday" to me, I made a wish, blew out my candles, and opened the rest of my presents. Jon picked out the cutest pair of brown boots just like I wanted- I was amazed at his fashion sense!


Then Jon let me play all of my favorite games. I smeared him in Ticket to Ride-- That was a birthday present in of itself! Although I won't mention what game he beat me in...

After the competition we ate at our favorite restaurant Sonora Grill. I even tried something new there which I don't do very often. After we enjoyed a cup full of frozen yogurt!



Your thinking my birthday should be about over by now huh? Well it's not!! Jon took me to the Salt Lake Anniversary Inn for a night away:) The room he picked out was amazing-- and the company wasn't so bad either...



I am so grateful to all my amazing friends and family! You are what made my day so special!

And after reading this try to remember I am "loved" not "spoiled." :)
