I have to say my 31st birthday was truly a blessing. Waking up to the sounds of a surprise breakfast being prepared.
What do you know, breakfast in bed and homemade cards brightened my morning. Although the pancakes were wonderful, my favorite part of breakfast had to be the tiny ink stained fingers handing me my newly created birthday card. {This is what it is all about... This is the good stuff that fills your heart. The ink stained fingers are the real memories you take with you.}
Then we enjoyed a family drive surrounded by changing autumn leaves. It's my only birthday request. I supposes it has something to do with the many years I rode along side of my mother on her birthday request.
At Mass that night our sweet church family surprised me with a beautiful chocolate cake and song.

That is not all, my in laws also made me a birthday dinner the following night. Who knew 31 was so special? Thank you all for making my 31st birthday a wonderful memory.
Love you so ~

Happy Birthday!!
How sweet! Happy (belated) birthday! May God bless you throughout this next year with His abundant grace!
What a wonderful way to celebrate! I love seeing fall leaves, too! I always cross my fingers for snow on my birthday, because without it I just have to deal with freezing cold. Happy belated birthday!
I looked around and couldn't find an email address for you... so I'll just contact you via comment. :-)
I'm releasing an ebook at the end of the week about teaching the Catholic faith to children from birth through age five. I want to know if you'll do a review in exchange for a free copy.
Please contact me at TheCatholicMommy(at)gmail(dot)com. Thanks!
Thank you all so much:)
Happy Belated Birthday! Wishing you a year filled with blessing and joy! BTW - the ink on fingertips from cards written in love would be my fav too!
