It was a beautiful, sunshiney, Michigan fall day! And it was filled with joy, as any birthday should be!
I thought I should share the beautiful card my husband got for me . . .
Isn't it stunning? I was laughing at the cover of it before I even opened the card! It was so desperately cheesy . . . the flowers, the cross, the golden edging . . . it looked more like a sympathy card than a birthday card.
And then the inside . . . by the time I opened the card, I was crying because I was laughing so hard!
My husband . . . always good for a laugh!
I can honestly say that this was the first time I had a dollar store birthday. It's obviously where he got the card, but he also got party hats and party "savers" (that's how Bella said party favors), and a box of Jr. Mints for me too! What a guy!
After the gift opening part, we celebrated with my "cake". A big shout out to Nancy Wierenga (affectionately know as Aunt Nancy to my kids) who made me blueberry scones for my birthday. I saved one until the evening, popped the candle she provided into it - and wa la! - we had ourselves a birthday cake!
Here's a picture of the fam celebrating with me! Don't you love the hats and party "savers"? Oh, and don't overlook the "Birthday Girl" ribbon I got too! What a thoughtful (and very fun) family I have!
