Birthday fun!

Today is my birthday! It's a memorable birthday because it's the first one I get to celebrate with Baby B. Come to think of it, it will also probably be the only birthday for many years to come when he's not scrambling to eat my cake or blow out my candles. (I love looking forward to all the things he is going to do:). As all birthdays should be, mine was filled with fun things, like presents!



This is the new scrapbook, scrapbook paper and shelf that Hubby T and Baby B gave me. Now I have a new place to put wonderful pictures of them and to store Baby B's food! And my first birthday card addressed to "Mommy":)



Ooohhh yes, I am really excited about this gift. My sister is taking me to see the new Twilight movie when it comes out in a couple weeks, so she gave me cash to buy the ticket, candy to take to the movie, and a Twilight card. My sister is awesome:) (And in case you're wondering, yes, this card is sitting on our mantle with all the other birthday cards I received. Hubby T - deal with it.)



And my daddy sent me these. He always gives me flowers on my birthday. I'm a lucky girl:)

(Note: If I didn't mention your gift above, please don't think I'm not very grateful because I am! These are just some of the highlights.)

And of course, we can't forget the daily joy that I derive from Baby B and Baby D, which I got to share with my mom, who spent the day with us!



We played with blocks and puzzles at the library after storytime...



Then Baby B and Grandma had some fun tickling Baby D while I got lunch ready! Look at that precious smile:)

Then finally, what I was looking forward to allll day - birthday cake!!



I made myself a delicious grasshopper pie. I haven't had it for a few years and I was surprised at how strong the creme de menthe and creme de cocoa flavors were. Hubby T not so subtly implied that my parents liquored us up by giving this to us as kids. But whatever, there's an Oreo cookie crumb crust and it's delicious. And with only two of us eating, it's going to last awhile. Yum:)

Yay for birthdays and for family and friends who make me excited about the year to come. Thank you for those of you who are reading who make my life so rich. I am very, very blessed.
