My Birthday :)

 



Happy 26th Birthday to me!  My birthday was yesterday and it was just wonderful!  Shawn did his best to make sure I felt like a Princess and he totally succeeded.
The celebration started out on Friday night when my dear friend Christy invited our family up for birthday cake and games.  The Weldon's move away in 2 weeks and so this was our last "hoorah" at The Apartments.  I'm getting teary just thinking about it! They will only live 15-20 minutes away, but after almost 2 years of seeing Christy and her kiddos almost every single day (since we live in the same building) it's going to be weird to have to pack up our car to drive over to her new house!
Anyway, she made me a cute cake, we played Taboo (the husbands won, but they were cheating!) and after the kids went to bed, at midnight on the dot everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to me!

Piper's Party Dress!



On my actual birthday there was a MASSIVE snow storm (we got almost 2 feet, much to Lu's delight!), yet Shawn braved the weather and ventured out before I woke up that morning to get me some goodies. I woke up to delicious French Toast, Starbucks, and balloons!  What stud!  My gift from Lu was that she slept in that morning- this never, ever, ever happens!


I got the Kindle that I've been (begrudgingly) wanting- thanks Sugar Lips!  I caved, 'cause a busy Mama like me just can't seem to make it to the library on time to return books anymore...oops!  It was time I got a Kindle, even though I really love paper books.  But it's pretty cute in my bright pink case :)  And it's so tiny- perfect for traveling!  Anyway, I also got money from my parents to buy the longboard I've been wanting for awhile now!  Can't wait 'til that comes- and yes, it's pink too.  Complete with PINK wheels and all! Hehehe! Guess I can read my Kindle while I skate through Denver.  Juuuuust kidding..... I was given such sweet and thoughtful gifts from my sisters (in-laws too!), Grandparents and friends as well.  I felt SO spoiled! Thanks a million everyone!
For dinner, Shawn steamed Crab for me since he knows that's my absolute favorite food.  He's even nice enough to give me his huge chunks of crab that slid out of the shell without breaking.  Seriously- he's the sweetest :)

Later that night we had a Duck Dynasty marathon and Piper treated us to a belly laugh!  Her first laugh ever!  She laughed at Uncle Si three times in a row.  Who knew that he would make her laugh for the first time? :)  Well, he is pretty silly.
I went to bed feeling oh-so-happy and thoroughly spoiled.  Shawn (and everyone else) succeeded in making my day absolutely perfect. Now it's time for me to go pop some popcorn and watch Les Mis- another awesome gift! On a scale from 1-10, my birthday was an 11! Thanks guys!
