Happy 30th Birthday!

We started out Aaron's Birthday weekend taking a limo up to Tampa with Bobby and Kelly!  We celebrated 2 very special 30th Birthdays... Bobby's and Aaron's.  You can imagine we had a GREAT time! 
Carrying our "goodies" to the limo. 

 Going over the Skyway Bridge


 Enjoying a drink at the Blue Martini

 Back in the limo to head to The Palm for dinner





 Tons of food!


 Aaron got on a cart with a random guy to track down our limo... we all forgot to bring the driver's phone number!

 Our happy camper enjoying a meatloaf dinner and sleepover at Grammie and Papa's while we were out on the town!
 Saturday trip to Walmart... Addison wanted me to take her picture with Darth Vadar.
 We took her scooter to the playground on Sunday morning.
 Aaron's 2nd surprise party- this time with family in Sarasota.  Started out at my parent's- thanks to my parents for setting everything up for me and having everyone over so we could surprise Aaron!

 Aaron shares his birthday with a very special person... my GREAT Aunt Gert!  She turned 94 on Sept 25, so we got to celebrate her as well.
 After cocktails at Grammie and Papa's we all went to a Mexican restaurant in Lakewood Ranch for dinner.
 Time to blow out their candles!
 Happy 30th Birthday!
 Happy 94th Birthday!
 Time for ice cream.
 Part of the group we celebrated with.





 Addison's gift for Daddy was wrapped in paper that matched her dress!
