The Party Continues

Today is another great one in my seemingly never-ending week-long birthday celebration. I have managed to begin the celebration last week three days before my actual birthday, received my first awesome present and then continued the celebration on Monday, presents from my husband and child and my parents and Aunt Nell arriving from Mississippi. Tuesday I received my birthday lunch celebration at Red Robin and later that afternoon I got some wonderful gifts from my aunt and parents as well. Tuesday night brought the concert and I believe I can safely say wrapped up the gift giving portion of my week.

Today I had a wonderful homemade country breakfast with my family and finally saw my birthday cake coming toward me with candles blazing and people singing to me. We didn't actually cut the cake (we had just finished breakfast for heaven sake) but I am thinking we will probably enjoy the cake soon...or at least I hope so. It is rather fun though, dragging out all the birthday rituals. I am getting to savor every moment and count my blessings over and over again.

This afternoon I get to spend some one on one time with my favorite Aunt and then we will meet my parents and child at yet another restaurant. I am having such fun, I really don't want it to end. I am sure the people around me are getting tired of the non-stop birthday fun...but let this be a lesson to you all. Declare yourself a birthday week...con some people to go along with your scheme and enjoy yourself on YOUR birthday! It is well worth it. :-)
