A Great Birthday

I had a great birthday this year!  My day started out by Katelynn running into my room that morning screaming, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!"  No one sent her in that morning to say it- she had remembered from the night before that it was going to be my birthday.  (I will add that the next morning she came in my room screaming it again, and it took some explaining that mommy only gets her birthday one day every year.)  In any case, we had a pretty regular day, but it was great all the same.  We went out together as a family of four for lunch and then Jonathan's parents met us for dinner.  I hosted playgroup that morning, and the kids and I just played around all day.  Jonathan actually surprised me and made me a gift this year!  If you know my husband, you know this is big.  He got cards from the kids and himself, made me a gift, and bought me a second one.  It's the first time in years he has gotten me a gift all on his own.  I was pretty proud of him.  My mom had come the weekend before and watched the kids for me, and I got my house cleaned and organized, which was seriously the greatest gift ever!  So, it was a really great birthday!
