Birthday Fun!

This birthday has been awesome! Here are some of the highlights:

**Breakfast in Bed by my daughters

**Being woken up to singing and a video camera in my face for said breakfast

**Chocolate and a personal short story from my youngest son {see below for translation if you can't appreciate his 6-year-old story telling skills}

"Once upon a time there was a hungry troll. Then super mom saved the day."

**A garbage can from the family {trust me--if you have been in my kitchen recently, you will understand why this is such a GREAT gift!}

**A special video, directed by Emmie, of all the reasons my wonderful family loves me

**Coupons for various things, including one for 5 BIG favors (all I have to do is fill in the bubbles to redeem!)

**Dinner with my fabulous husband (who, I might add, ROCKS!! Love, Love, Love him!)

**Dancing with my friends in Body Jam, pumping iron with my friends in Y Pump, eating cookies with my friends after said Y classes! (Why were we exercising?)

**Lunch with awesome friends--the company was great, the service--not so much!

**Chocolate, jewelry, and shower stuff from friends (three of my favorite things!)

**Fresh flowers

**More chocolate, in the form of a cake (pretty sure Kris is going for death by chocolate), with my family

AND FINALLY:

**Promises of enjoying warmer weather in the coming months. It may be in a box right now, but soon I will be wasting away the summer days, book in hand, in the back yard in this little beauty--the very thoughtful gift from my fabulous husband {Did I mention that I Love, Love, Love him?}

What a Fabulous Birthday! Bring on a great Year!
