My Birthday

I love my birthday.  Every year.  I love the time of year.  I love the feeling I have every birthday morning when I wake up, how special the day feels, even if it's just a normal old work day and no one even knows it's my birthday.  It's just a day of smiles.  My kids, husband and parents always make it special and it always is. 

 

I love to spend the Sunday of my birthday week going to St. Mary's for Sunday brunch and then take a walk around the grounds.  It was a chilly, but sunny day this year.

My babies wanted to bake a cake for me.  So the day before my birthday Evangeline made me a layer cake and she made a layer for Jed to decorate.  This was the first cake Jed has decorated and he was way into it.  I have the sweetest kids.  They sure make me feel loved.

 

 

I LOVE this picture because it speaks volumes.  He could not wait to eat the cakes and I made them wait until my actual birthday the next day.

 

Peggy had me over for a birthday dinner.  We had cake and played games.

 

The weekend after my birthday my children had yet another birthday celebration for me complete with handmade cards, birthday hats, party games and place settings.  Of course we had more cake. 



Let's just say, at 39, I feel the happiest I've ever felt and the healthiest I've felt in years.  :)
