Happy Birthday to Me!

About a week ago, we celebrated my birthday!  I'm sure I don't remember everything fun that happened that day, but here are a few highlights.  

On my birthday, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law Wendy took me out to breakfast at Cracker Barrel.  I ordered french toast, and it was yummy.

Later, I went to a baby shower for one of my friends.  For my present, I made a rag quilt with some really cute baby flannel.  If you want instructions for how to make one, I like this website:  Highlights From Higher Ground: Rag Quilts.  When I walked into the baby shower, my friend Liz who was hosting the shower made everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to me!  That was kinda nice, although also kinda embarrassing.

In the afternoon, we went ice skating!  When I was a teenager, that was my favorite thing to do for my birthday.  I'd get together a group of my friends, and we would go ice skating.

My boys enjoyed watching the Zamboni, of course.

And no birthday is complete without a few presents!

The flowers were from Benjamin.  Is that cute or what?

So, yep, I would say I had a happy birthday.  I also had phone calls, emails, cards, etc. from lots of my friends and family.  I felt very loved!
