Plan B = Happy Birthday!

I had a great birthday! The kids went shopping on Wednesday and had been dying to give me their present! So, shortly after waking up, Jeremy and Marissa woke up Annika who came in bearing the treasure that had been sweetly wrapped by them. (No tissue paper because that just gets in the way according to Jeremy!) I'm now the owner of a Lil' Kinz black lab name "Olive." My user name is JMom97 if you'd like to be my friend in Webkinz World!

We had chocolate chip pancakes, Johnsonville sausage links, Ethiopian coffee, and mango juice for breakfast. My BFF, LJ, and Mim stopped by with a gift which was a very pleasant surprise!! I set up my Webkinz account, and we just hung out for a while. The girls dressed up in pretty dresses in honor of my special day.

After a bite at 5 Guys, we went geocaching. We headed to Lake Crabtree, but the trails were closed because they were flooded -this is actually a good thing considering the severe drought we're in! So, we found two other caches at office parks. We came home to a pile of packages on the porch for me!!

We headed to my mom's for the family birthday celebration! She made one of my favorites, cubed steak and mashed potatoes! YUM! William created a delicious cake inspired by the Hostess Snowball! It was a devil's food cake with a layer of homemade marshmallow between the layers and covered in butter cream and coconut. He even made it pink! It was delicious!

Thanks for all of the birthday wishes and to those who made my day so special!! Love you!
