Last post of the month

As January comes to an end I can't help think I have 3 more months till I have my baby.  I wish April was next month!  There is so much to do and celebrate before the big day though.   January has become one of my favorite months out of the year now.  Fun celebrations take place such as New Years, Lulu's and Gabe's birthday and countless friends and families birthdays too.  To top it off, the weather is superb in Central Texas during the winter months.  We have very little days of extreme cold misery.  For the most part I like to compare our mild winter to Southern California's all year around weather.....perfect 70's\80's.....minus the beach smell and crisp air!   Our summer months are just cruel because not only do we have months of triple digits, but high humidity that is just a killer.  October is the month we all look forward to once we hit the month of May.   January is the month we look forward to for some rain and to pull out our nice scarves and boots just for a week or so until we have to switch to sandals and a light sweater ;)

Gabe is so low key when it comes to his birthdays that usually I do something special and make a big deal.  However, this year I took advantage of his low key attitude and just celebrated at home.  It has to be the pregnancy because I never back down on an opportunity to dress up and go out to eat without kids!!  As I predicted Gabe was happy go lucky when I told him I'm ordering pizzas for his birthday.  He came home to his happy girls and to some yummy yummy sweets my mom baked for him.  My mom perfected her cake pops for his birthday and they came out so good!   She also made him a lemon souffle, which hit the spot too.  It's no secret that Gabe loves 4 types of sweets:  Red Velvet, cake pops, anything with lemon, and his newest addiction- Petit Fours.
