Well... I am one year older! I have survived 25 years on this earth. This year I was busy with a bridal shower before my birthday so I spent it relaxing at home with Chrissy. It was exactly what the doctor ordered! I enjoyed doing nothing (not even watching the Superbowl) on my birthday including not changing out of my pj's all day long.
One present that Chris got for me was the 1910 expansion pack for the game Ticket to Ride. It includes a lot of extra tickets and new ways to play. It turned out to be a lot of fun!
Another great present my awesome hubby bought was the expansion Alvin and Dexter for the same game Ticket to Ride. This expansion is a little different from the style of the Ticket to Ride game, but it proved to be a great addition. You'll have to come by to try it out with us at our next game night.
The third present that I got this year was a trip to Home Depot. No, I did not get a new kitchen or a new washer and dryer... I got something better! Magnetic and chalkboard paint! How awesome is that? I was really excited to pick it up because I have been thinking about it for a long time. We have a high partial wall in our kitchen that is basically wasted wall space. If we hang a picture on it, we would knock into it while passing into our kitchen. So I decided it would be great to use that space to create a fun wall to decorate and hang stuff on. We were a little disappointed with the magnetic paint. You are required to put on at least 3 coats but the darn stuff isn't too strong. As long as we have strong, strong magnets, we can hang stuff on the wall. I think it turned out pretty cute considering!
