For some reason it is always easier to talk about my birthday after the fact than around my birthday. I just don't like my birthday. I can't even tell you why, I just don't like it. The worst one was when I turned 30. I locked myself in my house and wouldn't answer the phone or the door for a couple of days. I must say I am getting better.
Just think, one more year and I can start going backwards. That is how it goes, right?
I have such a great family. Even if I don't want to celebrate, they do it anyways. Tim came over and cooked us dinner on Sunday. That is always a treat in its self. Then came out the cup cakes. I guess they needed more space for more candles? Can you believe all those candles? Ya, me neither. Just ask Evva, she will tell you I am still 21.
It took me a few times with the help of the kids to blow them all out.
For Family Night we did the family tradition of Gingerbread houses. I wonder if mom knew what she was doing when she started this tradition. Can you (family) even imagine how happy she would be to see the easy assemble kits that you can buy now. She wouldn't have to spend days in the kitchen getting ready for that night. Okay, she would still do it from scratch. That was just her.
As you can tell my mind has been on my mom a lot lately. Her Christmas, tree, gingerbread house and then the cute booties that she use to make. Chuck you are amazing! When I saw those booties, I started all over again in missing mom.....Look how cute!
Today we got to go to Orem to watch my niece and nephew bless their beautiful baby Savanna. What a beautiful little girl. Just like her mom.
Kodak moment....
It was so fun to hear that they had named her Savanna Colleen, after my sister Colleen.
Ohhhhhh, isn't she cute!
Matt, the blessing was beautiful. Thank you for honoring my sister in the blessing. It touched my heart to feel your love for her. We are so glad you guys are apart of our family. Thank you for the invitation to be with you on your special day. What a beautiful family you are.
So here is just a part of the support group that was there today.

I'm glad you had a good birthday! Derek looks so handsome in the picture where you're blowing out the candles.
I miss grandma too! I always have vivid dreams of her when I'm pregnant. I love it. Kristin and I have scheduled when our families will do our gingerbread houses together. And yes, we did buy the kits. :)
