It's MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Today was my birthday, I choose not to say what year, the important people know and it's MY BLOG so I can choose which details I choose to leave out! :)
The kid's and Mike, Paul and Agatha took me out to dinner. This was my "MOMMY" card and Mike did well to choose PEANUTS wrapping paper to wrap my gift in.

Most people say the women in my family can not keep a secret. So now I know that Lindsay comes by it honestly! She revealed my gift to me at the restaurant while we were waiting on our table. And YES it was something I really wanted BADLY!

I am opening it now...look at the anticipation on my face!

WAHOO!!! Bon Jovi's greatest hits which is what I am sitting here listening to as I blog!

All I need now is for them to come to town and someone to buy me the tickets!!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Mom is very happy!!

Here is to your Birthday Girl Friend! I know this is one of your BEST ever! I can't wait until 2011 for you and Larry!! You will finally know how wonderful it is to hear the pitter patter of little feet on your wood floors!!

...And The Gifts Just Keep On Coming!!

Our neighbors dropped off a birthday present for Lindsay
It was from John, Edie and Megan!

She got a mermaid that has a tail that changes colors in the bath tub!

I think she is a little happy!

Thank you very much!!!

Happy Birthday To ME!!!

Oh my Lordy I am 40!!

Several of us celebrated at The Kani House in Woodstock

Lindsay did not like the Chef or the fire but she did like her kiddie chopstix!

Thanks Missy for helping her out with them.

Too cute!

I guess this is what you get when you turn FORTY!

One of my fave cakes from Publix-white chocolate raspberry elegance YUM! Everyone loved it!

Heading home!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

We ALL Love You!

Chris, Lindsay, and Brooke

Our next stop Aunt Patti and Uncle Steve's

We were watching the Roquettes and the girls danced themselves silly.
Brooke figured out she could hold on to the ottoman and do a "roquette" kick like Lindsay and not fall down! We laughed so hard... it was SO funny!!!
Lindsay dancing away!

Check her moves!

She is into it! Maybe we can afford dance class next year for them??

Pretending to cook in the kitchen.

Aunt Patti made a chocolate cake for Mike's birthday which is today 12/21 with a Christmas tree and Lindsay's fave Frosty the snowman!

Their fave place in the kitchen up on the counter top!

Brooke LOVED the big whisk but needed a larger bowl!

We had a great birthday dinner for Mike and slept over and had fun!

Thank you Pat and Steve we all had a blast!
