Birthday Duo


My little birthday partner and I celebrated another wonderful year! It was a beautiful day, cool but pleasant. The boys and I picked up Wendys and went to the park before the Kindergarten bus came. In the later afternoon it started to rain; I love the rain. We all enjoyed a family birthday dinner of chicken pillows, rice and corn; a popular birthday choice around here, complete with dirt cake for desert. Carter went on a little treasure hunt for his present. I had sketched little pictures of where to find his next clue. His gift ended up being in our shower (a skateboard). He was thrilled. Doug surprised me with studio lighting for my photography hobby! I am excited but intimidated with this next learning curve. We ended the evening with a slumber party and movie upstairs. I had planned on sleeping up there with all the kids, but when "That Darn Cat" was over, I couldn't resist climbing into my own cozy bed. I am so thankful for my sweet family, and to get to share a birthday with Carter is an added joy.
