Happy Birthday to me!

My birthday was several weeks ago, but I got to celebrate it for several days.

Ben, Russell, and I celebrated together the Sunday before my birthday. Church was cancelled because we had some bad weather so we spent all day together (Ben had to shovel some snow).

I decided that this year I would make everyone a 'fancy' cake. I thought I'd start off easy with mine. It was a basketball made from Reese's Pieces. I turned out ok. Russell loved picking all those Reese's Pieces off.

Then Russell and I spent the next week with Mom. We celebrated on Tuesday with her and Ben, Shannon, and girls and ate leftover birthday cake from Dad's cake and some of my own I brought.

Russell is a fan of birthdays and was waiting patiently for his cake. The next day Ben sent me some beautiful flowers. Unfortunately, the delivery person didn't ring the doorbell or knock and left them on the doorstep. The got a little frozen, but we were able to enjoy them nonetheless.

It wasn't a huge thing, but it was a great birthday celebration.
