Still climbing that hill!

Last week was my birthday. It was a good one! Well...the day BEFORE my b-day was the good one..thats when we actually celebrated. Mark was home for his ONE day off...the girls and I were home because of a snowday...it all worked out perfectly! I meant to share my b-day surprises earlier...but you can refer to #12 on the list above and see why I didn't.

Oh...back to the surprises!

Surprise #1: A Pink CD from the girls.
Surprise #2: A matching card game from Sydnee.

Surprise #3: A notebook from Mark.

Surprise #4..#5..and #6: Towels, jewelry and a kitchen set from Julie....$$$ from my mother-in-law....and an automatic handsoap dispenser from my dad and germaphobic mom!

When I say these all were surprises...that couldn't be further from the truth! Mark and I rarely exchange gifts..but I must of done something right this year because I feel like I hit the jackpot!

I saved the biggest surprise for last....

Surprise #7: A jello cake homemade from Mark! Seriously, he went to the cafe to have his friend Ricky help him make it! It brings tears to my eyes thinking of 2 grown men...stumbling around the kitchen at 6:00 in the morning...all for me! It was indeed yummy!
