Yep, Saturday was my birthday :) I sort of had a couple days of celebration this year. Friday night I had more of an "adult" celebration with lots of my girlfriends. We had an absolute blast! There was tons of awesome food (which was very thoughtfully planned as ALL vegetarian) We had veggie shish-kabobs, baked beans, deviled eggs, bean salad, pasta salad, twice baked potatoes and an array of yummy appetizers! Everyone went in together and gave me the most beautiful flower arrangement in a really cool vase. I also got several really sweet cards :) We all had so much fun together and I really appreciated all the people who really went out of their way to make my birthday so special! Thanks Linda and Joy--know you're reading! :) LOL! Saturday, my actual birthday, I woke up to an excited Ella who sang "Happy Birthday dear Mooooommy!!" at least 15 times before 9am ;) Russ took Ella to McDonalds so I could relax in my jammies for awhile and that was nice. They came back and Ella presented me with a cute little cake adorned with about a million candles, LOL. We got ready and headed to a neat fall festival in Mcdonough. Ella was in asbsolute heaven! There was a petting zoo, cool inflatables and cool booths with arts and crafts, face painting, ect. I got a fresh squeezed lemonade <swoon> and Ella choose a frozen, strawberry lemonade. There was a band there, and Ella made her debut as a break dancer as she got down to "Cupid Shuffle." LOL! After we walked around for a few hours, we headed to dinner. As we ate my birthday dinner, out of the blue, Ella patted my back and said, "I really love you on your birthday, Mommy!" :') Who could top that gift?
Here are a few pictures to enjoy:
