Birthday

I never blogged about my birthday! I can’t believe we went for 3 weeks with out the internet! So I missed out on blogging.

My mother in law bought me an Ice Cream cake from DQ.

IT was great! I still have a few pieces in the freezer! I also got some great cards from my kids and my husband picked out an amazing one, plus all the facebook wishes were wonderfully encouraging all day long! It was grand. I spent the night in Gulfport Friday night and went to garage sales on Saturday. I racked up on a few good things. I passed up a sewing machine and I’m still kicking myself for that one!  After that we went back to the Cook’s and I took a nap and then around 4 the rest of the family came over. We had grilled hamburgers and they were great! We were celebrating both my birthday and Jack’s. We got home late, and Chris ran a hot bath for me and I relaxed. It was so refreshing. My birthday lasted all week long! It’s still going on! I got a card in the mail this morning from my granny!

My friend Alyssa sent me this fun bling!

Here are some of my cards and gifts 

I used some of my birthday money to buy a deep freezer and two of these lovely Lucy Cups!

 

And some more gifts from friends

 

A girl in the youth drew Eli’s baby feet for me and framed them! I love it! So special to me.

Chris told me I could pick out a piece of James Avery for my special day. I haven’t looked through the catalog yet, but I’m excited! I also used some birthday money to buy a Heritage Sunbeam mixer at a yard sale. It sells for $150 now and I got it for $40. Such a fun deal!

I love shopping this time of the year! I had a great birthday! So thankful for my friends and family and who made this birthday a great one!
