They say it's my birthday!

This morning I got the gift of sleep. When I got up at 9:30 I was shocked to see all of this snow! Whenever we get forecasts of lots of snow, it always ends up being just a disapointing dusting. But for my birthday we got 6 inches! So as much as I love snow, I was a little bummed because we had some friends coming from out of town and I thought for sure they wouldn't be able to make the drive. Thankfully by evening the roads were clear enough and everyone made it safe and sound.
Next I opened the door to our bathroom to find a billion balloons! Downstairs there were more balloons and banners too. And my favorite breakfast too. It was such a fun way to start the day! Thanks Shaner!

We had planned on eating lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, but honestly, who would get kids out in this weather? Oh ya, that would be us...nothing gets in the way of me and Cheesecake Factory's ranch dressing.
We hung out with family the rest of the afternoon and then went out to dinner with our great friends.I was given a cute little tiara to wear but I think Kiera looked a lot cuter in it than I did. :)
After dinner we all came back to our house. Mom & Dad had gone to town and added some more decorations.
My mom also made me one of her famous cookie cakes (best ever)! And it was all pink and black and super cute.
So now I am in the club - The 30's - and I hear that's where all the cool people are. I think it's true! Some people have a hard time with this age but I am really ok with it. I love my life right now - it just keeps getting better and better! I wish I was a better writer and could explain how perfect today was. I know Shane and my Mom did so much to make it a special day, and it meant the world to me to have my closest friends here to celebrate too! Loves to everyone! Thank you SO much!
