On April 9th, we invited 7 other couples out to dinner and drinks at our favourite pub 'Crossings' and had some very delicious appetizers, dinner and dessert. Since I was able to bring a cake, I got a really light chocolate-mousse cake with strawberries on top. Plus there was alcohol. A LOT of alcohol. In typical Mike-Jen fashion we stayed behind after everyone else called it a night and drank with staff who we've come to know pretty well.

The next morning we were able to bring our nephew Ivor to gymnastics with us, and Uncle Bryan, Aunt Erika, Papa, and Grandma were all able to come along as well! We were feeling a little rough, and ended up going to the early class (8:30am) but it was worth it! Michael then requested a breakfast out at Coras.. which was just what we needed.
Later that day M drove the babies and I to Dundalk while he headed on to Toronto. We had a fantastic few days going to playgroups, playdates, and spending time with all of the family in Dundalk. I was even able to go to kickboxing with my sister and some of her friends.. it was nice to get a workout in considering how crazy busy the weekend/week ended up. On Tuesday the 12th we had a small birthday party of 30 or so people at 'Tobys' and it was also fantastic. They made the BEST sweet potato fries I've ever had. Seeeeeeeeeriously. I don't even like them at all usually. There was alcohol .. again -- but this time there were TWO birthday celebrations. My sister turned 25 just two days later. So lets just say that the two of them enjoyed themselves probably a little too much. I ended up driving back to London.
Now that the celebrations are over, and reality hit -- I think Michael is OKay with being 40. Afterall he DID get a blonde for his birthday.
