bday lovin'

it's my birthday today!  32 am i.

after some quiet time in my room, reading - i was greeted by my fun lil' family

with cuddles and kisses, cards, treats and gifts.  what could be better?

there were also tears.

tears from laughing harder than i have in a long time.  

i couldn't stop.

flowers from jude and cards from my girls

so nice.  gerbera's are my favourite.

the first card i opened was the one on the right - from selah.

she is loving the dog cards (she's planning a 'dog' party for jude on friday... shhh, don't tell)

this card sang a lovely song to me this morning.

it goes something like this:

"bow wow wow, yippee yo yippee yeah"

having trouble controlling my laughter and tears, 

i proceeded to open my card on the left - from emery.

it's hard to see here - but, it's the kind of card you might get from a close friend 

when you're farther along in years.  

emery had no idea why i couldn't stop laughing while i was reading the thoughtful poetry inside.

"because i just love the cards you guys have chosen for me" i said

while selah's card was playing in the background.

jude tells me that there was no chance of them agreeing on one card for me.

i love how different they are and how clear that was today...

they are both convinced they found the perfect cards for my birthday.

they are both right!

have a great day everyone - and so will i!
