My Birthday!

I celebrated my 28th birthday on Sunday, May 3. It was such a good day. After I’d woken up, Matt and the kids sat me down and each surprised me with a gift. Matt had taken all the kids to Target to let them pick out something for me. From Collin, I got a pair of really stylin’ sunglasses. Annie gave me an earring and necklace set, and Michael gave me some of the darkest chocolate I’ve ever eaten (it was actually a little too dark for my taste at 86% cacao) and an iTunes gift card. Matty gave me a bookshelf for some of my books and a Paula Deen cookbook.
The biggest surprise was on Friday, Matt came home and told me that he’d gotten a bonus and could buy me a new computer (my old one has been having troubles for a while, besides it was turning into a dinosaur at the ripe old age of 4)!
Matt made some pancakes for breakfast, and we got ready for church. Afterward, we went to my parent’s house, and my brother made some killer taco salads. They were delicious. My grandpa and his wife came to celebrate with us, and it was so good to see them. My brother and sister-in-law gave me a Rachel Ray cookbook (I am not really a fan of Rachel Ray, but dang some of those recipes look good), and my Dad and Mom gave me some decorations for my kitchen and my grandparents gave me some Avon Bubble Bath and some antibacterial soap both in the cucumber melon fragrance. After presents, we had strawberries and angel food cake with whipped cream. Yummy! I got pretty spoiled on my birthday, but the best part was being with my family and enjoying a wonderful day with them.
