Mah Birfday

We celebrated my birthday Monday. 

 

It was.....um....different then years past.

 

I was home with the kids all day.  I guess they didn't get the birthday memo because they were being less than adorable for me.

 

We went to dinner with my family where my Mom was over an hour late, my grandmother and nephew were fighting and the kids were throwing tantrums.

 

It was a bit of a disaster.

 

At least we got some cute pictures!

 

But we went back to my parents house and had some cake.  Ashlyn was so excited about it being my birthday but she swore it was her birthday too.  She sang to me but I think she was really singing to herself!  She blew out one of the candles too.

 

Then we watched the kids pretty much go crazy from all of the sugar. 

 

Then we went home and got the kids to bed.  We sat on our front porch with a drink and that was that.

 

It certainly was not a perfect day.  But is any day really perfect? 

 

We still had fun and got to spend time as a family and that's all I really wanted.

 

We will be having a small party on Saturday for myself and my person.  Our birthdays are so close together that we are just inviting some close friends and family to celebrate with us.

 

I'm looking forward it!

 

The best part of my birthday???

I got my Colson necklace.

 

I ordered this necklace weeks ago.  I must have emailed the woman from Etsy 3 or 4 times asking where it was and why it was taking so long.  In reality, it wasn't taking that long, I was just being impatient, as usual.

 

And when I opened up the mailbox, on my birthday, I knew what was in there.

 

 

My necklace for Colson.  I love it so much.  I don't even know how to describe how I felt when I opened that box.

 

Always in heart, sweet boy.
