Happy to get a little cake on the actual day of her birth.
She did blow them all out at once. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...
I guess she was surprised that she was able to blow them all out.
Eating the little white chocolate square that said Red Velvet. Mmmm Mmmm good!
Very cute cake and very good. She was happy because her birthday fell on a Tuesday and her dad works swing shift so there wasn't really a family party. Her big brother and I celebrated with her that day.
Oh yes, it was very good!
It was gone by the next day. Isn't it just so cute? I love it.
My husband had the day off and he made a Prime Rib and shrimp dinner for our anniversary. The table was set and there were cards and letters placed around the room and under the plastic table cover. Letters & cards we had written to each other back when we were courting. My hubs had saved them and he found the ones I had saved. It was a little walk down memory lane. A look back at how head over heels we were for each other. (Smile)
We enjoyed being served by our kids and we had some wine with our dinner. The kids ate too, just in another room. My daughter gave us a bell and said to ring it when we needed something. It was a lovely time and the food was excellent.
Here is my plate and as usual I ate it all. I was way full, but found room for a piece of chocolate afterward.
I have a prayer request from a friend.
We've got some Awana clubbers that want to go to camp this summer, but you know how it is when there just isn't enough money to send them. Can you say "FUNDRAISER?" Well we took a night off of Awana and held a spaghetti dinner fundraiser.
Here are the youth servers. My daughter is kneeling on the right. All of these kids are in 6th & 7th grade. I believe we have some 5th graders, one 8th grader and some highschoolers going to camp too.
Since it was St. Patrick's Day we had some green spaghetti to commemorate the occasion. Mmm Mmm good.. or not. Depends on if how it looks will turn your stomach first.
Actually it was good. I had some. We may need to have a few more fundraisers to get enough money, but we got a good start and it was fun.
Our welcoming committee. The coats on the floor are part of the lost & found. Whenever parents will be at the school for an event the lost and found is layed out all along the hallway in hopes that the items will be claimed.
Some teachers served us. The second one in is the All Day Kindergarten (ADK) teacher that I volunteer with in my down time.
More teachers serving. The first one is the para for the ADK class that I help in. She has been a tremendous help to me in my first year working as a para. The male teacher is another one that I help on occasion in his classroom.
And here it is "Green Eggs and Ham" just like Dr. Seuss taught us. Will you eat them Sam I Am? I did eat them in a school.
Two more teachers. We had dressed for a Western theme that day. Each day of the week had a theme.
The Principal. How do you like his western vest? His badge is a button that says "Read Across America" with The Cat In The Hat in the middle. The music teacher made them for us. Very cute.
The guest Eric Ode. Singer, poet, author, teacher and a great entertainer. He did a fantastic job with the kids. He isn't teaching presently, but he and our Principal had worked together several years ago.
My hubs turned 51 last week. He celebrated by going to an Ice Hockey game at our new arena in town. We gave him a few gifts and were planning to go out to eat after church last Sunday, but he was sick. We'll find a date to go out for lunch sometime soon I hope.
Jack is always helpful at opening the gifts (not). He just loves the paper and gift bags.
Relaxing after trashing paper.
The arena. Shiny, slick ice.
And of course the ZAMBONI!
My son & his friend (Nan's son) at the Hockey game with my hubs.
My hubs' little brother went too. His wife went too, but no one took her picture. Just can't trust the guys with the camera, geesh!
Happy Birthday, honey!!
