Goodbye 20s

 

Ezzy sleeping in the booth at Lucille's

 

Last week I said goodbye to my 20s and hello to dirty 30. Or nerdy 30, as some people like to call it. But seeing as how my shower time is typically limited to 5 minutes with a baby screaming in the background for 4.5 of those minutes, dirty 30 is probably more accurate.

I celebrated the last day of my 20s visiting with my dear friend Millie at the beach. Ezzy has already been to Venice beach, but he spent 95% of the time sleeping, and we didn't really go on the sand or near the water, so this was his first real beach trip. He seemed a little blase about the whole thing, as you can see in the pics above. After our beach day we drove over to Santa Monica for some yummy veggie pizzas with Joe near his work.    

The next day I got spoiled with two dozen gorgeous red roses and a box of chocolate covered strawberries, followed by dinner at Claim Jumper. It was a perfect, laid-back way to celebrate turning 30 with my family.

Friday was Joe's birthday eve, and we kept the celebration going with lunch at Lucille's BBQ, where I got a delicious southwest salad with grilled portabello mushroom and barbecue sauce. Ezzy was intently eyeing Joe's veggie burger and mac and cheese. It seemed like he was willing his hands to grab for it, but they just wouldn't cooperate. After lunch we did some shopping, followed by packing for our Santa Barbara bday trip (more on that in the next post).

29 was a really big year for me, since Ezzy and Joe are the best presents I could've wished for. It's going to be hard for 30 to top that, but I'm excited to see what's in store for our family.

And what would a blog post be without some cute & silly Ezzy pics?

 Not sure what Winnie the Pooh did to him, but Ezzy is not amused.
