Another year older

Darin and the kids made my day wonderful yesterday with a surprise party.  Upon returning home after a day of shopping, the house was decorated with purple and pink streamers and yellow balloons.  The kids jumped out from their hiding places and shouted, "Happy Birthday."  It was a surprise.

I received "A Stuffed Animal Story" from Gabby (written and illustrated by Gabby), a picture frame with two pictures from Samuel  (built and painted by Samuel),  long johns from Darin in preparation for Quebec, and a dinner of grilled Salmon, stuffed mushrooms, and chocolate silk pie.  I am very blessed to have a wonderful family make my birthday special.
