My Birthday (and our Anniversary!)

Simply put, my birthday was absolutely wonderful. The boys made my day special with a trip to Crater Lake & Diamond Lake. I loved celebrating in Oregon this year!

First stop: Starbucks for me & donuts for the boys 
This is about 10am, there's a bit of haze from the early morning & fires burning not too far from here. 






The boys quickly got busy making their own "volcanoes" in the sand :)
As the afternoon sun came out, the lake views were spectacular! 


Taking a little time to play... 


After seeing the views and walking around the lodge a bit, we decided to head back down the road to Diamond Lake for lunch. Another beautiful place! 

View from our picnic table...so peaceful!




After lunch we made the trip back to Roseburg. The boys were exhausted...but managed to wake up for milkshakes a bit later. :)



The day ended with a lovely dinner out, minus children. It was the BEST. 

And finally, the next day, we had a BBQ to celebrate. We also celebrated my father-in-law's birthday, whose is just three days after mine. 




Here's to another year of fun, laughter, memories and growth. As the messages, texts and calls came throughout the day, I was constantly reminded how lucky I am to be surrounded by such amazing people. Feeling grateful for sure. xx
