Happy Birthday to ME!

(A) I can't believe I am 25 today.
(B) I have had a wonderful Birthday! :)

My 25th Birthday started out by Parker waking me up, me stumbling sleepy-eyed to the kitchen, and on the table was a gift from Ben. {He had to work today. But it's okay, he's taking me out tomorrow.} He got me a gift card to my favorite scrapbooking store.
My VT's came over at 9am this morning. They are the best!♥ They brought me some cupcakes, which Parker and Preston have licked the frosting off of!
I got a call from my sister, Penny, wishing me a Happy Birthday. {While the boys were running around acting all crazy. Sorry, Penny!}
At 11:00, my friends Robin and Debi and my sister Pam came over. They brought me lunch {so I wouldn't have to cook anything} and an amazing Oreo pudding cake. Oh my! I ate some. {Hey, I've been exercising all week to make up for the goodies on my birthday. Can you blame me?} It was so much fun. I don't know why we don't get together more often. {hint hint!}
I then laid the boys down for a nap about 1:00, Preston and Paisley were both asleep. But by 2:00, Parker was still awake. Thinking that I could get a little snooze in, I laid down with him, and we slept til 4:00! Yeah!
My Mom called {from London} to wish me a happy birthday! It was so much fun talking to her. I can't wait to go home and see her in June. {BTW, my friend Shay is getting married, and I just found out the date and I should be able to make it! Yeah!}
My mother-in-law came over and ordered a pizza so once again, I didn't have to make dinner. She got me 2 gift cards, one for a pedicure, and one for a massage! I'm way excited for that. Ester also came over...and she got me a purse {I need one extremely bad. It's kinda tacky carrying around a diaper bag without any kids in tow!} and some clothes {she has really cute taste!} Donna made me my favorite cake, we ate a bit {hey, it IS my birthday, isn't it?}, and then I got the kids in bed.
My other sister-in-law, Emily called up, and I got to talk to her about her ultrasound. I am way excited that she is prego and is going to have a baby GIRL! Yeah, Paisley will have a girl cousin. :)
It has been a perfect birthday.
It's not over yet. Tomorrow Ben is going to take me out to dinner to PF Changs {thanks Emily and Justin! We're finally going to use the gift card!} Pam's going to babysit for me. Thanks, Pam.
I pretty much have the coolest family and friends, ever! Thanks, guys. ♥






{they weren't even trick candles!}
