THE DEHAVEN FAMILY

We are a military family, just beginning our lives in this whole new adventure! My husband, Matt, is in the U.S. Navy and works as a hospital corpsman. We have two beautiful daughters, Finley, 5 and Charli Lyn, 20 months. We feel so blessed to have each other and to take on this new lifestyle together.

Nana's Birthday!!

On Saturday, the girls and I celebrated Nana's birthday! We had such a great day together. Unfortunately, Charli wasn't feeling very well, but she must have known that it was a special day, because she pulled herself together and let us go out and about and do some fun shopping and hanging out. That morning the girls and I got up and got ready, ran over to Publix to pick up her birthday cake and some balloons to surprise her when she got home from work. Finley decided on picking out this insanely large balloon that is so pretty, but HUGE! It actually fits Nana to a T. When we picked up her cake, it pretty much matched the balloon too perfectly. So we loaded back up into the car and raced home so that we could set up all her presents before she walked in. We had gone out birthday shopping a couple days prior and bought her a Vera Bradly make up bag and wallet. I also ordered a collage of pictures of the girls online and am still waiting for that to arrive.
Finley waited by the window watching for Nana's car to pull in and when she saw it she ran to the door and as soon as mom walked in she shouted HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It was so cute that Finley was so excited. Mom loved her cake and huge gigantic balloon and she loved her presents! So it was great!
After that we got ready to head out for the afternoon running some errands and doing some window shopping. We had a great day together!! We then headed up to Carrabbas Restaurant for some delicious dinner!! You can never go wrong with Carrabbas!! We had such a good time and such an awesome dinner!!
I thought we would be full from dinner, but we raced home for some cake!! The most delicious kind of cake! CHOCOLATE!! We all had a big piece and lounged around for the rest of the evening.
It was a great day and I feel so lucky to have spent it with my mom and I know how happy she is to spend it with me and the girls! Happy birthday Mom and many more!!
