Happy Early Birthday, To Me...

I spent the day today with two of my best friends celebrating my birthday, which is tomorrow.  We had a wonderful lunch of taco soup, homemade bread, and delicious homemade strawberry cake.  (I love anything with strawberries, just in case you ever need to know)

And, not that I am all about the gifts, but I do have to show you what they got me. 

This little baby was hard to take pictures of, so I did my best.

Don't you love it? 

As always, I am not certain that this will be a permanent home.  I have to play around with her a little bit, but I wanted to go ahead and show you what my sweet friends had gotten me. 

These ladies know me oh so well.  Thanks, Daffney and Veronica. 

And, thanks to the sweet girls who made me a lovely birthday card with very kind words.  I am always humbled by thoughtfulness like that. 

Off to the drive-in tonight to see Toy Story 3 with the family.  We will have our lawn chairs, blankets and big stereo with speakers so we can hear the movie outside of the van.  Wish you could all meet us there for a large Diet Dr Pepper, popcorn and some good clean movie watching.
