The birthday girls

Happy birthday to the girls in our family! I'm 26 and Eliza is 1 month old! Here's what we did for our birthdays:
-We cleaned and organized the house on Saturday- I know it doesn't sound like an exciting birthday activity, but the house was driving me crazy.
-I went for my first run on Saturday and it felt amazing!
-Went for a picnic up in the mountains on Sunday by a waterfall
Here's our picnic. And I'm wearing my b-day present from Marko: a brand new Baby Bjorn. I would have been more than happy with a used one and was about to buy a used one, but Marko got sneaky on me and bought me a new one. I feel like a total snob wearing it though because it's white and expensive (he got it on sale). I LOVE it though. I've been wearing it basically non stop since I got it. Thank you sweet Marko!Icing + cake + man= very interesting cake. He was very proud of himself that he double stacked it. It was sure good though!
Look at those eyes!
Mark bought this cute suit for Eliza for when we go and play in the snow. Isn't it adorable?! It is oh so soft and oh so cute. The boys went hiking around while I fed Eliza. Mark said Ethan was loving it and kept saying, "I love the mountains!" Both boys got filthy and left a ring of dirt around the tub in the bath after.

Gorgeous view by the waterfalls.

Happy birthday, Leah! I was thinking about you and your birthday on Sunday, just so you know. I am so happy you have a baby bjorn! I don't think you should post any more pictures like this - it makes me miss the west too much. Lovely mountains. Eliza is darling, but I do wonder... will that cute soft suit fit her in the snow if it fits her now? Looks like so much fun. Happy happy birthday.
