Yes...It's true. Mother's have birthdays too. I am lucky, in that I have a husband and kids who think birthday's are a big deal. I always feel like I get the red carpet rolled out for me on my special days.
On friday, Matt brought home this lovely bouquet for me. So springy, I LOVE it.
I am learning to take photo's in the manual mode on my camera. As many of you know, it is a huge trial and error process. This is one of 20 photos I took, and really the only one that turned out...still I am pleased with it.
Matt and the kids made me a birthday cake.
Not just ANY birthday cake, but my FAVORITE birthday cake.
Grandma Gale's Red Velvet cake....from scratch.
That's right, no box products were used, it was made completely from scratch, frosting and all.
and it turned out delicious!
Cake and flowers
(remember, I am learning how to take photos in manual mode using as much natural light as possible...no flash!)
The floating candles again...I think they add a lot to the ambience!
How old am I now?
I was spoiled. I got a leather purse from Italy, earrings that Cora picked out and bought with her own money, The other girls each gave me a bar of my favorite chocolates, Plus I got dinner out (on a real date!) and had some fabulous Indian food.
Out of it all though, my favorite was this card...
The kids (girls) picked it out, and I LOVE it!
ENJOY!
It was a great birthday!
