Birthday

Rebekah wanted to make me a cake with sprinkles. It's hard to explain to my little girl that I don't like cake, so I just let them go and have fun. Mom said she would help make it so I didn't have to make my own birthday cake. Nice! I hear Don helped mix. Very impressive.

The decorating of the pre-birthday cupcakes

The licking of the arm that got in the way of the decorating

The eating of the pre-birthday cupcakes

Yum

The next day there was the decorating of the actual cake

The eating of the sprinkles

Then the next day there was the birthday mommy / daughter photo shoot

followed by the birthday song

Then there was church. 

After church was the birthday skyping with my little brother Spencer and his fam

Then the eating of the birthday pizza

Gourmet veggie pizza from Papa Murphy. 

(Don picked it up the day before. Don't worry, the church is still true.) 

No one else ate it. Just me. Ah well.

Then there was the birthday family shot

Followed by mom catching each of my cards / gifts

My mother's card and 39 dollars she gave me - one for each day I've been alive. 

Can't wait 'till I'm 100! :D

Then there was the eating of the cake

But Don, knowing the only cake I really like is carrot cake, got me my own personal little wedge. 

What a nice man I married.

Oh yeah, and there was Blue Bell ice cream.

YUM!

I received many phone calls from my family and a few dear friends. It was a wonderful birthday. Thanks to all!
