Over the Christmas break Mom R sent me some boxes of scrapbooking things. All of us had a fun time looking through them. One day we pulled out some stamps. We'll have to do this more often!
The day of my birthday Lois and co met us at our church. We had just finished a breakfast where the kids could come and meet their new primary teacher. We went to Sharp Shopper for the first time together. It was very fun. LOVE that store!
After lunch we went to the park. I loved the nice weather over Christmas break. If it's not going to snow it might as well be warm!
The kids like to wrestle...always on the couch. Maybe because it's soft?
Yep, four kids in that pile. Looks like Cal is not the king of the hill this go around.
While Lois and I were out shopping Lee and the kids decorated this sign. So cute! We went to The Valley Pantry for the first time (LOVE that store too!) and also EAUS--the local thrift store. I got a cute purse there. Someday I promise I will post a picture! I love shopping with my sisters/sisters-in-law! It's one of my favorite activities!
My cute Baby Blake nephew!
My sweetie pies!
Yep, there are 32 candles on there. For my family I like to have the exact number of candles. If I am there for my parents' birthdays (mainly my dad's) I like to put the exact number on their cakes too. Lois volunteered Jeff to makes this Oh So Lovely Cake. YUM!!!
Lots of smoke! I just need to remind myself that I am young! Before I know it I'll be 40....
This cake was so good. Chocolate Mousse Cake with chocolate ganache. YUM! THANKS JEFF!
Blake thoroughly enjoyed the cake!
Lee gave me Jenga and Skipbo; some games we've been wanting. Thanks Lee! He also gave me some cold-weather Army socks that he had never opened. They're the best "slipper socks"!
Lois gave me a HUGE bag of Ghiradelli chocolate chips (along with a subscription to Everyday Food--I love their emails). Elden was so excited when he saw it!
I had a few phone calls, some cards and LOTS of facebook messages on my birthday. It was a fun day. To end it Lois and I stayed up insanely late watching He Knew He Was Right. I would recommend it! There is a little swearing though. We went to bed a little after 3am and still had one segment to go. My little library here is part of the Massanutten Regional Library. What I love about it is that I can go online and request books, DVDs, and audio books to be put on hold and they are delivered right here in town! I don't need to worry about going to the main library, or a different branch. I do have to make sure to allow a week or more to receive the specific item. And He Knew He Was Right arrived right in time to watch it with Lois!
Thanks everyone for a fun birthday!

Sounds like you had a great Christmas, New Years and Birthday! I loved seeing all the pictures and catching up on what has been going on with you guys! To answer your question about my blog background, I can't remember where I found it. I was looking all over for one I liked. Sorry not much help! I had a question for you. How far away are you guys from Washington DC?
That was definitely a fun day!! Happy Birthday! :D
That does look like a good cake.
