Happy Birthday To Me

I had a wonderful Birthday. Craig to me to lunch today so that we could enjoy some kid free time together. The kids helped Craig fix steak and baked potatoes for dinner. I am here writing my blog post, listening to the kids working together in the kitchen making me brownies.
I have to say that my favorite part of my birthday is the handmade card from Alison that she did all on her own.

I typed it out here, with her permission:

Happy Birthday Mom!

Mom Happy Birthday, It's your day to shine. For the God above sends an angel to sing, when others dance for you with joy. People that shine everywhere, you're the one who's the star tonight! I'll be there to comfort you when you are alone. You are the one I love. I might get frustrated, mad or scared but you are the one to help. I might be happy, excited or maybe inpatient but you will help me anyway. There's lots of things that you do, but most of all I love you. You feed me, you comfort me, you even sing to me but one thing's true not only I love you but you love me. You do things fun with me like camping. We spend time and lots lots more. I love you as you love me.

I love you.

She said she worked on it all week and slept with it under her pillow so that I did not find it before my birthday.  WOW
