Today was my birthday. And it was wonderful. Lauren and Seth had spent the night with me so we had fished, played, boated, and talked about important things. Who we liked and who we disliked at school was a hot topic. Our favorite lunchroom meal came in a close second. While fishing, I found a gift bag on the boat, a beautiful orange hand painted Venitian-Glass necklace was inside. It didn't take us long to track down Aunt Marijane and my brother Gene as the bearers.
The next morning, which was today, I woke up to two very excited little children, wanting to give Nana her Bday-Card. As is signature behavior for Phil, this was all impromptu, with no other agenda except to make my day special. He had the kids hand-write(I love handwritten messages on cards)on notebook paper, my Birthday message. Seth was up first and I had special time with him and his card. Several hours later, Lauren flashed past me sneaking to get her card. Then around 1pm. here comes Jess John and the boys, Brent,and Annie, carrying bags of groceries. They went to work, barring me from my own kitchen, and prepared my Birthday Lunch. Phil appeared with a Dairy Queen Cake. I apologize that there are no pictures for all of this. I guess we were having so much fun, we forgot. But Phil managed to take a few pictures of the party favors that Sebastain and Edison brought for Nana. Isn't it precious, I had a SPONGE BOB BIRTHDAY.
To make this day perfect, Ashley called during the party and wished me Happy Birthday. She and Chris were out of town this weekend. Then to top it all off, Jordan and Tiffany called and we got on the webcam. Titus came in front of the camera and said NANA NANA. I could have died. He will be turning 1 year old very shortly and can almost walk and CAN say NANA ( very plain, I will add). Everyone went ohhhhhhhh so loud that I think we startled Titus. WHAT A PRESENT Then everybody took turns getting in front of the webcam and seeing each other.
I love my family. I love my life. I love the man that makes so much of it possible.
Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday! The pictures are great! Great post! Glad you had such a special day.
