We had a terrific family day yesterday...
The morning started out with a birthday phone call with my twin sister and a snugly hug from the little one...
Once we were ready, we headed off to our favorite breakfast chain; Bob Evans and had a hearty breakfast (no diet today)! Then off to see the tulip display at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens...
The tulips were gorgeous and they had beds of them throughout the park.
The flowering trees were starting to show their display as well...
The little one had a blast feeding the Lorikeets...
And, of course the animals were out in full force...
We enjoyed watching the gigantic Polar Bears frolic in (and out) of the water...
After about 4 hours of walking around, it was time to head out for a late lunch/early dinner. We decided on P.F. Chang's and enjoyed lots of delicious food including their chicken lettuce wrap appetizer they are known for...
Once home, everyone was ready to lay on the sofa and relax (and eat some birthday cake!). Dear husband ordered this beautiful cake for me and I don't believe I've seen a prettier one except on our wedding day. (It was super yummy too!)
It was a great day spent with my little family; you only turn 45 once and it was a day to be remembered!
