Happy Birthday.... to me, and Sid, and Marc!
Yesterday I turned the big 27! That sounds really old... but, despite the whole age thing, I had probably the best birthday ever! March 16th has become a family holiday in a way because of all the birthdays that land on it! My brother Sid's birthday is the same day as mine, and so is my brother in law Marc's. It was the first birthday in 9 years that Sid and I have celebrated together. So, we made sure it was a special one. The main thing that made it special was my parents came down from Montana to be with us! I made everyone dinner (chicken avocado tortilla soup) and then my mom came just in time to help me make the blackberry pie. Sid and I are more of pie lovers than cake lovers :) After dinner, we all talked and played games. Dorsie and Terry dropped by to give me a card as well. It was really fun to see everyone and talk. So, since we had everyone here we served up fresh hot pie and icecream to everyone. YUM! Thank you everyone for making March 16th a special one!
My dad surprised us by making a croquet set! He is so talented at wood working, it's crazy what he can do! They turned out amazing! He recently just made a bow, and he makes his own arrows too! He is so gifted at it, Jamie and I have both told him he needs to start up a wood-working business. I think he would do great! Thanks Dad, we love them!!!
My dad has a signature belt buckle that he has worn for years and years. I don't remember my dad wearing any other belt and buckle. So, for Sid's birthday gift, he got a matching belt buckle and belt. It is EXACTLY the same. My dad had it custom made a few years back and decided to give it to Sid. What a perfect gift for him! Don't they look handsome?
Like father like son :)
The fam all together playing Perudo!
My mom and I :) Okay, everyone has been asking me to put a picture of my "bump" on here... so here you go! It feels like a "popped" over night. So crazy! I swear it gets bigger every single day! I am now 5 months along. We will be finding out (again) what the gender is next week! We are so excited!
Thanks again to everyone! It was a wonderful day! Now, I just can't wait to go shopping this weekend to spend my birthday money!!!
