Happy Birthday to ME!!!!

That's right, it's my birthday today! I make no secret of the fact that I love this day and I feel that all those around me should love it too. Ned has had to make a bit of an adjustment for that. He is good to humor me and help make my day a nice one. On Sunday, we had my party at my parents house. It was awesome - as usual. My mom makes whatever we want for dinner, and I always choose rotisserie chicken and twice baked potatoes. Mmmmm delicious. For dessert I choose the best cake in the whole world: homemade German Chocolate Cake! We opened presents and had a great time. Thanks to Mom, Dad and Sherry for making the day so great.

This is me opening presents:

Our little family:

Blowing out the candles. Abby beat me to half of them. She has some set of lungs, by gosh.

My balloons from mom and Sherry. Did I mention that I love balloons. I don't feel like a birthday is complete without them?

This is my new video camera from Ned. What a nice husband. I broke the last one being too impatient. oops.

Today, my mom brought a cake and soda pop into my classroom and had the class sing to me. Apparently, the students already knew that this was going to happen and they had to keep it a secret. They did a great job! I was very surprised. So fun. Thanks again mom!

Abby eating what was left of the cake. She got out the tub just so she could eat it. As you can see she didn't waste any time.

Thanks to all those that called, sent messages or cards. I am so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. Love you all.
