The Birthday

I celebrated my 35th birthday this past week. It was the first birthday since I was 16 that I haven't seen my husband. He was on a business trip, but let me say that it was actually to my benefit! He had things lined up for me to open at breakfast, lunch, after school, and dinner! He also organized a family party when he got back into town!

Here's the flowers that were delivered mid-morning (my favorite color):


Here's his gift to me (my 5 year old son took this picture--not bad!!):


My mom took me out to lunch and my kids took me out to dinner (thanks to some coaching by their dad). It was a good day!
