My B'day

Just had to share about my birthday this year.

Yah, I kind of don't like my birthday very much.

Now, I love everyone else's special days

but I really don't like the attention.

But, I love it when I do get treated like

a queen on my special day.

On Sunday, my dear Mother had a special

dinner for me.  I loved the fact that

I didn't have to fix Sunday dinner.

All my kids were there except for

Natalie, she had the flu, and of course,

Matt.  My Aunt Pat, who shares

the same birthday as me, Uncle Sam,

my sister, Jana and my brother Paul

were there.  Nothing like good food

and wonderful company to make

the day.  

Then, on Tuesday, my actual birthday, 

Brooke wanted to take me to lunch.

I was looking forward to having a fun

lunch date with her and the kids.

Tuesday morning she called and asked

me come over to their house

when I got off work, they

had a surprise for me!

I was so excited!

After work I headed on over and Emily

greeted me at the door in her

Cinderella dress and holding a 

special card she had made just

for me.

 (Smile)

As I went into their house I could see

the surprise!  Brooke and Emily

had prepared a "Tea Party"

for us for lunch.

It was the cutest thing I have

ever seen.

Brooke had borrowed a tea set

from a friend and it was

just beautiful.

We had heart shaped sandwiches and

Emily poured each of us some "tea"

(apple juice).

We had a wonderful lunch together and 

I felt so special.

It was the most wonderful thing

and I enjoyed it so much.

(The people I work with kept asking,

this is your daughter-in-law?  They 

couldn't believe a daughter-in-law

could treat her mother-in-law with 

such love and grace).  

I'll tell you, I couldn't be more

proud because I have the most

wonderful daughter-in-law and 

grand daughter  in the world.  

Thanks to you both for making

my b'day so special.

I simply loved the Tea Party!

I'll never forget it.

Emily loves to play Tea Party

and every time she comes to

my house we play with

the little dishes.

She got a kitchen for Christmas

and plays with dishes at her house

constantly.  

A Tea Party for Grandma's B'day

was the perfect gift!

Oh, this is not the end.

My in-laws came from

Rigby and took Wynn, Natalie

and I all out to dinner.

We went to the Hong Kong

and it was so good.

I got lavished with so many wonderful

gifts.  For not liking my birthday, I 

sure have a huge smile on my 

face today because yesterday

was the most perfect

birthday ever!
