Birthday Present....

We are still in mid January. Only it's my birthday! That's right people! The best day ever! January 16th! It was a nice day. I went out to dinner with Mike the night before. The girl in the booth behind us had a laugh like Janice from "Friends." Poor thing! It was a first date for her with this guy. I could tell from the conversation. I was not eavesdropping! They were that loud. Or at least she was.

On my birthday the kids were sweet and tried not to fight all day. They did not succeed but the effort was there. We went to Cafe Rio for my birthday dinner with the kids. Love that place!! Mike and the girls got me 2 Willow Tree statues of little girls that reminded him of our girls. So cute. Especially when the twins started to pose like them and tried to convince me which one they looked more like. Then Megan took me into my room to show the the following slide show of pictures they made for me. (The computer would not let me copy and paste them into a photo album since they did it on Microsoft Office PowerPoint. Just slightly irritating. So I actually took pictures of them on the computer screen.)

(That is Karly in my sister's dryer. Upper left hand corner. No we did not turn it on. But we did scare my niece when we asked her to get some clothes out of the dryer.)

In the upper right hand corner is Mike's youngest brother Kyle (in the red cap). He turns 17 this month. He was seeing how many of his nieces and nephews he could fit on his lap at once.

That's my one and only brother Mike after my Grandpa's funeral (upper right hand corner). I asked for a nice face and that is what I got. And the bottom middle is my Daddy holding Mikayla after her blessing.


So thoughtful and cute! My girls drive me crazy but I really do love them!
