Birthday Weekend

So yesterday was my birthday and I turned 35, which sounds so much older than I feel.  But, when I really think about it, I am married, have a kid in elementary school, own a home, pay my bills on time, and am usually in bed by 10pm.  I think I am right on track for my mid 30's.

This weekend we celebrated with Matt and Blair coming to town for their annual fall Keeneland trip, which was awesome!  I love that they get to be here for my birthday! Besides Keeneland we filled the weekend with a Bourbon Distillery Ghost Tour, Cici's last soccer game, and lots and lots of eating. Obviously.

Keeneland!  (PACKED!)

Nick and I.  Can you all see how blue Nick's eyes are in the picture?  No filter, they are just apparently made of ice.

We always manage to catch the headless horseman on our October meet. 

We also got to see Cici's last soccer game on Saturday.  It's funny how quick and easy a sports season seems when it's not your child!  How athletic does she look here??

At the end of the game everyone got a medal for their hard work this season.  When the coach gave Cici her medal he said "If we had a team captain, I would say it was this girl, because she always knows what to do and is always telling everyone else what the SHOULD be doing!"  HAHAHAHAHA.  Just like her Mama

Saturday night we went on the ghost tour at Buffalo Trace distillery.  The tour was great but the ghost portion was lacking. I think it was just our tour guide, who said he only does the ghost tour around once a month.  Still, it was a very cool tour and we all enjoyed it.  Especially the end where they gave us bourbon!

And a final shot of the weekend of me (BIRTHDAY GIRL!) out to dinner after the distillery.   It's actually funny that even with all these pictures I feel like we didn't take many this weekend.  We were too busy just enjoying being together.  I am so lucky to have such wonderful family to help me celebrate every year!
