~Happy Birthday To Me~

Yep, it's my birthday!!

It was really a great day!!

We headed out of town with friends since the kids had the

day off from school. We headed out to do some

shopping, eating and of course laughing!!

We went to lunch at Red Robin, where they will sing

to you for your birthday. My great friend put in that

request against my wishes. The poor waitress didn't know

what to do!! We had a great meal, lots of visiting

and of course more laughing! Well, when the meal was over

the waitress brought us the check and and my

"free" ice cream. She kindly explained to my

very disappointed friend that she

was going to honor MY wishes to not be sung to!!

Well, by the look on Jodi's face it was obvious she

wasn't happy!! She sat there for a few minutes while all of

us samples my yummy birthday Sundae. I could tell

she was going to do something. I never would have guessed

she would sing "Happy Birthday" nice and LOUD all

by herself!!! It was the the best, the girls and I laughed

so hard we were crying!! Nicole pulled her sweatshirt over

her face, the others slid down in their chairs, I am begging

her to stop at any time!!

But no!!

She continues loud and proud to the end!!

It was a birthday I will never forget!!

When Ward got home he took me out to dinner just the two of

us. While we were gone the girls decorate the TV room like

I do for them on their birthdays. It was a very nice surprise to

come home to, along with the best gift!!

A Belgium Waffle Maker!!

YUMMY!!!!
