My Birthday

I had a GREAT birthday this year.  Birthday week started on Tuesday when my wonderful friend not only took me out to dinner, but cooked for my husband and child.  Thank you!  Then on Wednesday, Nanny and Gamma came over for our usual girl's afternoon.  Gamma and Tessa had ordered me a Princess Aurora cake and we had presents too.

On my actual birthday, Ryan took the day off work.  He baked a chocolate cake with Tessa and then we went to the pool.  I sat in the lounge chair, soaked up the sun, started a new book and watched my hubby play with my daughter.  My parents came over that night with champagne and more gifts. 

I finally got to open my super secret gift from Tessa. She had been telling me all week that she and Daddy made a cup with her hands and that it was baking.  So much for the surprise!  But I love the tea cup with her big-girl handprints, very sweet. Then we all went out for a very yummy steak dinner. A perfect birthday celebration.
