Thirty ONE!

I can’t believe that I turned thirty one today. WHOA!

It was a really awesome birthday! I am seriously blessed with way more than I deserve.

My Mom had us over for her traditional birthday lunch and favorite dessert on Friday. She does this for us on our birthdays.  My cake was one of her famous homemade pound cakes.  This is mine and Eric’s favorite dessert!! It is HEAVENLY.

I tried to get a good picture of the kids, but it wasn’t working out for me so well.

Also, I need to remember to discuss with Emma how to be more “lady like” while wearing a skirt.

I love this picture of Emma giving Ava a lesson on letters.

If you ask her how to spell her name she says,  “E-M-M-M-M-M-A”

Saturday evening Eric cooked salmon for me on the grill.  It was SO delicious!  After dinner he and the kids gave me a cake.  (Diet starts TOMORROW!)

Today we went to church. This morning, while I was getting the kids dressed Ava decided she wanted to get in the baby doll crib.  She pulled all of the dolls and blankets out and climbed in all by herself.

Little stinker.

This was also the first time I put a clip in her hair!  Yay!  It stayed in really well, and I think she just looked so adorable in her new dress from Grandmommy!

The kids and I before church.

This afternoon, Eric’s grandmother (Maa) watched the kids so we could have a date.  We went to Turkey Creek did a little shopping, ate dinner at Calhouns and dessert at Baskin Robbins.  I know that frozen yogurt, and fancy schmancy ice cream shops are really popular now, but Baskin Robbins is still my FAVORITE ice cream!

Couldn’t really ask for a much better day!
