Birthday Eve

One of my favorite family traditions is taking the birthday boy out for a Mom Date the night before their birthday to share some one-on-one time and talk about the upcoming year. For Max's Mom Date, he chose to go to a do-it-yourself frozen yogurt place. He topped his frozen yogurt with gummy bears, cookie dough, gumballs, dots, M&Ms, and hot fudge--and I didn't even say anything! While he was spoiled with treats, I just enjoyed spoiling him even more with all of my love and attention.
