Since I worked the night before my big day, I slept most of my birthday. I haven't been looking forward to this birthday but decided it was coming whether I wanted it to or not so I might as well embrace my fabulous fourties! When I woke up I was pleasantly surprised to see my house all decorated. Brianna and Cord had spent their day getting ready to party (Mason is at scout camp and Chelsea working 8-5 as a receptionist at Mike's law office). I was touched that even though it was 100 degrees outside, Brianna and Cord walked down to the grocery store to get a cake mix, this rose, and balloon then walked back and decorated the house in streamers. They made me some fabulous art and this great sign. After I woke up and opened the bedroom door, I was attacked by these streamers.
Here's the great cake that Brianna baked for me. She put 16 candles on it because we just didn't have 40 candles.
The one thing I wanted to do to celebrate was go see the movie Brave with all the family. We are missing Mason though. :( The movie was great. I hope the kids don't ever find a witch and turn me into a bear though.
Cord gets the most out of our birthday celebrations. He likes to help blow out the candles. Often he has to do it several times.
I was then showered with gifts. These signs were from my parents.
Chelsea was also very thoughtful. She gave me a beautiful card and a cupcake charm to represent her on my pandora bracelet.
The best gift of all was that Mike restored my satellite radio in my car. He said "now you can listen to Radio Disney again" He knows me so well. :) I love the satellite radio because I can see the name of the songs as well as who is singing it and there are so many stations I can get when I travel. Mike is always thoughtful when it comes to giving gifts. He really listens and takes mental notes throughout the year. I wish I was as good at that as he was. I teased him that the main reason he got this for me was so that he didn't have to wrap anything. He didn't deny it.
