Ok, so I did NOT get all those beautiful dishes for my birthday. Here's the deal: I got 10 place settings of Fiestaware for Christmas a few years back and it has been part of my "hope chest" ever since. (Basically it has been packed away under my bed). But my wise Aunt once told me that it left unused for too long the items in a hope chest turn into a despair barrel! About a month ago I decided that was true and determined for my birthday we would eat on my gorgeous dishes for the first time ever. Now I have to pack them all up again! Ugh.
A cheerful flower I picked yesterday for the kitchen windowsill.
Grandma always makes my totally yummy strawberry birthday cake!
Candles courtesy of my Aunt Cindy. Yep, we pretty much never remember candles and she pretty much always does.
Laughing at me taking pictures of the cake.
Such a fun shot. I love it!
If you want to know how old I am count the compliments on this completely awesome card from by wonderful brother.
