25 and holding!

So I am not one of those women who does and will grow old gracefully. I'll enter old age kicking and screaming the whole way!! But inspite of my inability to think positively about old age, I did have a great day!!



My friend Jill has a birthday 4 days before I do. And each year I like to do something special for her to show her just how much I love her. So the night before her birthday I went over to her house late and I decorated the outside a little for her. She turned 50 this year. I thought it would be special to share that with the world. So I had little happy birthday signs and little hanging 50 signs and a bouquet of balloons with a lone 50 in the middle. I even had a sign on a stick that announced Jill had turned 50. She called me early the next morning just thrilled! Her husband is always most helpful. He laughs at my good times and makes her keep the decorations up. So Saturday morning rolled around, and my house was left untouched. I was amazed, but very much ok with that. Saturday afternoon rolled around and when I went outside I saw my own house decorated. In brood daylight!!! How did no one hear this happening I ask you!!!????? And the best part is, she recycled!! She reused my decorations. I AM NOT 50!!!

My friend Tammie made this amazing cake for Kaylin!! It's so adorable. And it is a real Strawberry shortcake doll in the cake. And it smells like the Strawberry Shortcake doll. I keep smelling it. Thank you Tammie, I love it!

My husband is so good at the roses thing. I love roses. Absolutely love them. And he gave me the sweetest card I think he has ever given me. I keep rereading it. But he doesn't know that!!!

My big girl turned 1 the day before I turned 25 again. (He he he he he). We had her birthday party on my birthday. It worked out perfectly. She had her birthday party and then my family stayed late and we played games. We love Sequence. My cousin and I have an ongoing war. So far I am the queen, though she may try to deny that!!! LOL!

It was such a great day. I couldn't have asked for a better day.

Thank you everyone who came and shared Kay's and my day. Thank you Dave and Annie for taking the time to stop by. I know you guys had 50 other things to do.
