another year wiser

I have to say my birthday this year was a blur, I don't think I sat down much at all that day, hence, I looked like I'd found myself in the center of a tornado, but it was a lovely day, none-the-less.
The best-est parts of the day were: Coffee and visit with my girls in the am, lunch with Apee and Sebs, my Mom, Mark, and Nana coming over. My mom made the yummiest fruit tart for the occassion and my hubby, well he surprised me with the perfect gift I never expected. PLUS I got to watch my baby at her performance. So I'll take looking a little scuffled anyday...



Can't go wrong with a Starbucks Gift Card --wink wink--



What'd I tell ya about the tart and isn't that paper gorgeous, I saved it (I sort pf have a "thing" for gift wrap as my mother well knows, probably get it from her... However, her homemade bow is to die for, really)



Me and my Bestie...



Something about this pic I just love, prob Jilly's genuine smile... She's just so beautiful to me...



Can't forget the boys, and did I mention my sweet daddio got me a bread maker? Well, he did, and its fabulous!



**Thanks for the best Birthday ever FAMILY!!
