my birthday-part 1

We celebrated my birthday yesterday with lots of "presents" from my boys and flowers from my thoughtful hubs! Ty and Drew couldn't fathom a birthday without a cake so we included that as well. What they were most excited about was blowing out the candles so we dug out every candle we could find and put them on the cake. We ended up with 27 candles, which is ironic because that is the age I like to think I am. In fact, when I opened a card that said, "Happy 35th," I was thinking, "Who is this for?" Sad, I know...I'm in denial about getting older! Why does aging seem like an out-of-body experience? :/ Anyway...I'm so thankful for my precious boys who colored lots of pictures for me, wrapped them up like presents, and put huge Christmas bows on them! They are THE BEST! Love these little ones...

look at all that smoke!
