This year my birthday kind of snuck up on me with everything going on. I didn't even know what how to celebrate which meant low key was just fine with me...
Saturday morning I woke to meet Jorelle & Jenny for a run. It was a little cool, but the sun was out and it was beautiful and peaceful along the river. Then they surprised me with breakfast at Dixie's with Leslie & TD. It was fantastic! Giant Hot Chocolate's, Huge Breakfast, a Cinnamon roll with a candle and the whole restaurant singing Happy Birthday...Ok I was a lil embarrassed at that point, but I was very happily surprised by the whole morning.
On the drive home I called to tell the kids I was stopping at the store and they enthusiastically all 3 jumped on the phone to wish me Happy Birthday. It was soooo endearing and cute!
John did have to work in the morning but that gave me time to get myself waist deep in another disasterous birthday cake delima. As soon as he got home we jumped in the car and went and picked up the newest members of our family: Rainbow, Lollipop, Flower and Shiver. Our chicks.
The cake....well John tagged it as Typical Melanie...and sadly he's right. But I promised my girls a cake and although I was going to bag it at the last minute I just couldn't pass up Martha Stewart's Sweet and Salty Cake-Chocolate, caramel and Salt? It didn't look like much and it didn't taste that great until a day later so I guess all's well that ends well.
Luckily Leslie had my back with the YUMMIEST Trifle I've ever eaten-blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cream. What's not to like? Did I mention Y-U-M-M-Y!
That was another highlight of the day-that and the pizza John's Mom treated us to so I wouldn't have to cook on my birthday. It was a perfect Day!!!
Thanks to all the birthday flowers, gifts, calls, texts, and wishes from family and friends! The highlight of my life are those I surround myself with, you make me a better me!
