I am sure I am not alone in not wanting to post pictures of myself very often. But, when the post is about my birthday, I have to make an exception.
The fun in December really starts for me when my family starts rolling into town. My sisters, Chery and Celsea flew in two days before my birthday and were able to celebrate with me. Best birthday present ever! I also got to see my childhood/for-our- whole-entire-lives friend, Kesseli. We celebrated at my mom’s house where she made my favorite chicken chowder for dinner and pecan frosties for desert. Sigh. I ONLY eat them on my birthday because I would be 500 lbs otherwise. I pretty much devoured that whole pile on my own.
Kids are so much more fun to watch blow out candles but hey, why not?
Like you, I had no idea what could possibly be in that strangely shaped bucket that was a gift from my Mom and Dad…it turned out to be rose bushes for my front yard! When we moved in to our house there were six rose bushes along the side of the driveway but three of them were dead. These are to replace those three. They are planted snugly in their spots now awaiting warmer weather to bloom and grow.
Along with the roses was this card:
I know it is hard to see but it is pictures of me as a little girl with my big brother, Aaron. I am holding a red rose. My Dad said that whenever he thinks of roses he thinks of me. I had no idea, but how sweet!
