turning 27...

my dear friend Jamie was wonderful and took me out for my birthday since chris was gone. We went to a pub for dinner and then headed out for drinks.

We were excited that her beer had a place for her to write her name!

Chris's (and now mine too) Uncle Bob got us a really heavy wedding present wrapped beautifully. We open this box to find this ammo tin. Kind of surprised to see this, but getting this as a present was not completely out of the ordinary :)

We continue to open the ammo tin to find this...

IDAHO POTATOES!

Best present ever!

Since we had no way of getting them home my dad decided to make some of them for breakfast. I would have to say these were the best potatoes EVER!

So of course I needed to document this to blog about it!

Thanks Uncle Bob!

the card and check were VERY generous as well but the present itself was very creative and thoughtful I loved everything about this!

Part 2 of the Honeymoon

Chris and I decided to try to play shuffle board while we were waiting for my mom and Janie to get into town. We weren't sure about the rules so we made up our own! :)

I won the game with our made up rules :)

so Chris went inside to google the official rules

After playing for awhile we decided to go to Big Beach again to have a picnic and one last time at the beach. We brought sandwiches from Safeway and sides to eat which was really nice. Brought an umbrella and it was rather lovely :)

Finally my mom and Janie got in and we had champagne cooling in the fridge for them per their only request :) Chris decided to join in on the fun!

We went to this retaurant for dinner and all shared apatizers and fancy drinks!

The plates were too cute!

My mom being proud of her's (didn't realize its upside down!)

fancy drinks!

fish plates!

aparently there is a chicken problem on the island... and over the years it has been illegal to try to get rid of them... which we realized when they were walking around the restaurant!

Our last morning on Maui we went to breakfast and then walked around a little shopping center which I stopped to admire the fish :)

This is what I imagine the rest of the week being like after Chris and I left (my mom and Janie sitting outside playing on their ipads most of the day :)
