It's my Birthday

Wow, 36. Pretty uneventful and low key weekend, but I am very thankful that my dear hubby took three days off work (five days including the weekend) to be with me!

We didn't do any lavish dinners or nights out, but instead have been doing chores around the house. Weeding the garden, fixing up the flower beds, relining the shelves in the pantry, cleaning fan blades, etc etc--in anticipation of hosting Thanksgiving at our home this year. And I have done so much baking this weekend that I know I have gained 2 or 3 pounds, but OH so worth it.

We also just spent lots of time concentrating on the kids. We even took them to see Santa on Friday (as you see in my new header) and playing outside on the patio in this great weather.

So although it's been an uneventful birthday, I feel truly blessed for my great family!
