More Birthday Fun for Me!

So obviously the story of my blog is that posts are always going to be way late!!! I'm trying to once again play catch up and get a few posts done.

On the night of my birthday we went to eat dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Marketplace! I absolutely love their chocolate butter mess for dessert! Rita, Dan, and the boys joined us and so did some of our best friends Andy, Emily, and baby Brooks. Rita gave me an ornament with Jillian's name and footprints she had done when she was born and has saved it for me; what a special gift!

Jansen being his silly self trying to make Kyle smile for the camera!

Me, Jack, Jansen, and baby Kyle...My birthday dinner was wonderful and Jack and Jansen spoiled me with some great gifts also. I got a black shelf ladder to sit in the house and put pictures on, the new Karen Kingsbury book, Unlocked, a Christmas CD, flowers, cards, and lots of love. Overall I had a great birthday!

My Birthday

My sweet boys thought it would be good to give me a surprise party for my birthday! My birthday was Nov 29th which was on a Monday but Sunday night after church we went to eat with friends and Rita told me to swing by her house before I went home. So I did. Jack and I were in separate cars and everyone was there when I arrived. I really had an indication when Jansen let it slip that Jack had put some food in the refrigerator at church but then he wouldn't tell me what it was for!

My lemon gooey butter cake made by sis-- it was yummy!!!!

Just a few of the friends at the party-- Jeremy, Dawn, Rita, Michael, Elizabeth

Jansen with 2 of his favorite girls, Julia and Kinsey. Julia picks J up after school on M and W for me when I work late and Kinsey has always had a special place in his heart . These 2 girls are sweet sisters and are very special to our family.

Me and my loving sister... Thanks for the party at your house sis! Love you and all my special friends! I had a great birthday surprise!!!
