Birthday!

 

 Mason learned how to use the camera, so he documented some of my birthday.  We had the Christmas tree up by then, but no ornaments.  We had glo-sticks, which were a hit with the kids.

This was one of my favorite gifts--a Nutcracker snow globe--David is taking me to the Nutcracker ballet some time this month as a birthday present. Yay!

 I picked up some pizza for an easy dinner and easy cleanup. I also picked up my favorite cake--carrot cake, and ate some of my favorite ice cream--Cold Stone cake batter batter batter (with cookie, cake, and brownie batter.  H-E-L-L-O)

We had just gotten back from a long travel day from Declo, ID to KC the previous day, so my kids gave me a great gift by sleeping in on my birthday and also letting me take a long nap that afternoon.  (Kate took a nap and I just gave Mason the ipad to play with . . . ) David gave me a great gift by cleaning the house and doing the laundry for me so I could just do some Christmas shopping on my birthday instead of doing the cleaning/laundry.  I am sooo grateful for my sweet little family--I love being a momma and a wifey :)

It was a fun day!  Thank you everyone for the happy birthday wishes and texts/calls/posts.  Love to you all--
