What A Great Birthday

Well, today was the big day.. another birthday come and gone. But it was a good one... let me recap the fun filled events. We started off with a little celebration at the lake this past weekend. Sister made a scrumptious cake for the day and Steven decorated it with a beautiful K in the middle.

Opening a few gifts. This was from sister and steven.. cute H plate. (Side note: please imagine "Today it's your birthday" playing in the background with my dad dancing)

Today Matt surprised me with a picnic lunch by the river. He made some chicken salad, macaroni salad, and fruit. He even thought to pack some forks and napkins. I was impressed. Doesn't get much better than your man carrying a polka dotted market tote.

We were laying on our blanket and we were looking at the sky and I said... look there's a shooting star. Matt quickly reminded me that it was daytime and that the "thing" I was seeing was a jet.

A quick picture before we headed to do this....

Put our feet in the "Crick"... the water felt so good and if only we would have had our swim trunks on we could have waded down the creek with the others.

This little current doesn't play around. I almost lost my balance and went floating away.

I had to take a picture of this because Matt was just beside himself proud. He was so stinkin proud of himself for all his color coordination with the tissue paper and the bags. He did a great job wrapping (the bag on the left was still laying out from a present from a friend earlier... so he didn't have to plan too much for that one).

And tonight we went to dinner with the fam at Firebirds and back to sister's house for a yummy Oreo cake that Matt surprised me with.

Thanks to everyone for making it a great birthday!! Matt worked so hard to make it a special day for me and I loved every minute of it. It was a fabulous day!!!
