Birthday Fun!

I got to celebrate my birthday twice this year thanks to my sweet husband's secretive scheming and planning.

First, we celebrated a day early with our family at our house. Carmela made my favorite meal, we opened presents (I'm very excited about my new cowboy boots and digital frame!) and we had my favorite - ice cream cake with coffee for dessert.

Then I got more on my actual birthday! I spent the morning having breakfast with my two dearest friends, Kerri and Lois. They did such a good job of keeping Stevie's secret to themselves. Thanks to all of you who were able to make it out for my surprise birthday party. Stevie really did surprise me-it was so sweet of him and he did a great job (with the help of family and friends). He knows me so well....he planned for karaoke and a piñata-two things I always said make a good party!

Yes that is me hitting a piñata on my 29th birthday-never too old!

Thanks babe-you're the best!
