Special Day!






Today was my birthday! I am now officially 41 years old! Woo-hoo! We spent most of the day here at home...since Chelsi is still not feeling well. This afternoon, we drove over to my parents' house for birthday cake and ice cream. Here are some pictures from our afternoon.

The most special birthday present that I received today was a beautiful pendant that Chelsi made for me out of polymer clay. She made this even though she was sick.....it is simply beautiful and I adore it! Thank you my sweet, precious girl!

Chuck & Chelsi gave me a wonderful new "All-in-One" Printer, scanner,copier & fax ...it will be great with our new computer when it gets here! They also gave me a bottle of my favorite perfume Pure White Linen. Yummy!

My parents gave me several new outfits....I love them!

I received a sweet smelling soy candle from my Uncle & Cousins and my In-Laws gave me $$$!!

It was a very special day...one that I'll cherish forever. Thanks so much!

I love my family!!!
