Tuesday, I turned the big 33! I can't really say that getting older is bothering me. As long as I am aging with grace, I really don't care. I have a happy and healthy life, and that is what matters to me. I share a birthday month with 2 of my little brothers, Matt and Andrew. We celebrated with my family on Sunday and had a fun time visiting with everyone.
Andrew didn't get the "green" memo....
I got some very nice gifts and had my helpers around to help open my presents.
After 11 years I finally have a nice temple bag!
My actual birthday was very nice. I spent the day being a mommy-what I love best! Everyone has laughed when I told them I spent my birthday ironing. I was very grateful to receive many birthday wishes! Every time my phone buzzed it made my day! I heard from some wonderful friends and family members and was reminded of how loved I am. When Eric got home from work we went out for a nice dinner. The restaurant was so quiet, I almost fell asleep! It was nice to have a night out with Eric.
The best gifts I could ask for!!
Eric surprised me with a super nice blender-(yes, I asked for one.)
Adam and Tessa made me some sweet birthday cards.
Gwen had to get in on the hug action!
My sweet neighbor brought me some delicious birthday treats! Totally made my day!
I actually had about an hour and a half to myself in the afternoon, so I did what Eric is always begging me to do-relax! I plopped myself on the couch and watched a movie while I worked on some scrapbooks and looked through some magazines. I never get to read anymore because every time I pick up a book or magazine, Gwen literally rips it out of my hands and demands attention. So, my magazines wait while we play:)
Eric brought me flowers!
My cards from Adam and Tessa. I loved Tessa's birthday banner being carried by the dinosaur! Very creative! Her card says, "Happy Birthday. Dear Mommy, I am very excited". So cute!!
My sister, Katy brought me a yummy birthday cupcake cause she knew I wouldn't bake myself a birthday cake and she watched the kids so Eric and I could go out. The kids had a blast playing with her and I had a very quiet and relaxing dinner at one of my favorite restaurants!
It was a lovely day! Thanks to all who helped make me feel so special!
