The one about my birthday

Yeah! its my birthday! Having a December birthday so close to Christmas sucks, but my parents always made sure I had a good day when I was growing up and my family now does, too. Rob had the day off and pretty much took care of the kids and did the dishes.

I got tons of birthday wishes from internet friends and some e-cards. Austin knows how much I appreciate help around the house and gave me some coupons that he made (above). He had that planned for months! He can be so cute and tenderhearted. :) I am also all loaded up with CGs from Amazon---yeah!! My sisters know my likes by now. One gave me a calendar...just for the images...vintage botany illustrations... and another gave me this book.

Mmmmmm...this cake from Cold Stone Creamery! It doesn't have frosting--it has a rich fudgy ganache layer.
