William is 6!

William had a wonderful birthday --- he has more LEGO than he knows what to do with and has been loving it!! We threw a party for him on the day after his birthday and as much as we tried to encourage having it somewhere, he begged for it to be an at home party. I apologize for not being able to invite all our great friends --- I was pretty much overloaded with a guest list from his class and his Y tribe! And an at home party is a TON of work! But I think he had the time of his life!

A special thank you to Grandma and Granpa for this beautiful cake!

It was a drop off party --- some parents stuck around which was nice --- 15 boys made me very busy! ;) Only two ice packs were needed and one meltdown from the birthday boy!

Happy Birthday William ---- you are our sunshine and we love you!!

my bday dinnner

I have been blog absent for a while --- and wanted to give a "shout out" to my amazing friends who made sure my b-day festivities were celebrated!!

The Triangle treated me to a fabulous dinner at PF Changs, where they showed up with...Susie's cupcakes and gifts!!

As I was struggling to read the sweet sentiments on the cards, I told them I forgot my readers and would have to read them later......and then I opened my gift from Chaka ----- READERS!!!

So sad, but funny that this is now how the Triangle is represented!

another birthday....

So, another year has passed and I blew candles out on another cake and took stock of the great things in my life and some of the "tweaks" that would make life a little happier in the future.

I really hate myself in pictures ---- I never realize just how much older I'm looking until I see a picture of myself --- YIKES!!!

Can someone get me an airbrush?

Enjoyed celebrating with the family and our sweet neighbors!

More posts on my after-V-day celebrations with the Triangle to come.....and a picture of my amazing gift!!!  to be continued........

Did I mention?

That an unexpected treat showed up in the mail ? And you KNOW I'm a sucker for great packaging. Thank you dear friend Nicole A.

One of my all time favorite items was buried in this box of sweetness ----- chocolate covered graham crackers!! They were small --- 2.5" x 2.5", so I ate one and then saved the rest for a binge. Three hours later.
