The BEST Birthday EVER!

The day started in our beautiful new home in my bed with all five members of our family. The boys sang happy birthday to me and then gave me breakfast in bed (which consisted of a sweet roll and a glass of milk...simple and yummy). Then they brought me my presents which I also got to open in bed. Then John says the best gift is that I get the day off. So he bathed the boys and got them ready for the day.
We got to have lunch at grandma-greats. Its tradition that we always have turkey soup the Saturday after thanksgiving. The kids all played and enjoyed cousin time. After lunch John and I and Suzette and Aaron went shopping (thank you G&G for watching the kids). We came home and had a pizza party and watched a movie. Suzette made me a b-day cake. It was a wonderful day.
I am so thankful to be blessed with a wonderful family. They are amazing. Of all the things I have to be thankful for (and there are A LOT!) it is my family that brings me the greatest JOY!
Thank you family for the best birthday ever! :)

FYI

Many friends and family have been asking about our new home. We have our final walk through on Nov 17th. Our close date is the 21st and we will be moving in on the 22nd. CAN'T WAIT!!! I will post some pics in the next few days (hopefully).

Trick Or Treat

It was a week of activities ending with the annual soup and rolls dinner and trick or treating. At the boys school they had to dress as their favorite characters from a book. So we decided to make it a family theme. Thing One, Thing Two and The Cat In the Hat had a great time. I was very pleased with how the costumes turned out. They seemed to love them too.
