Numero 33...

It's been two weeks since my birthday. I had to get over the fact that I am actually 33 now. Ugh. I feel old. But, I did have a great day! It started with anticipating the arrival of two of my favorite people. One, my hubby was coming home after being out of town and Two, my SIL Donna was flying in for a long weekend visit. (I have a lot of favorite people...so don't feel bad.) Then I made LEMON SQUARES (my favorite and traditional birthday dessert.) After I was done with those I went to get in the shower and left Livvy on the couch watching Strawberry Shortcake. While in the shower I had the thought, I really should have moved the LEMON SQUARES out of Livvy's reach. As soon as I got out, I ran to the kitchen and this is what I found:




If you can see I dusted them with powdered sugar when I was done and then while I was in the shower, Livvy decided that they needed chocolate on them too. So, she got out the NesQuik and dusted over the powdered sugar. I wasn't really mad but, laughed and just started over with the LEMON SQUARES. Thankfully they are easy to make and oh so yummy.



Phil brought me some flowers and then he and the kids surprised me with a new Canon Rebel camera. I was sooooo excited. It was a really fun day!




Ashlie has turned into a little photographer with my old camera and takes pictures of everything. I checked the old camera card and in one week she had taken about 720 pictures and 20 short videos. Oh well, we'll nurture her creative side!

On to 34...for a few short weeks Phil and I are both 33.

Happy late Birthday Alisa! Sounds like you had a great day. I can't believe what kids can do when you're out of the room for a second! I"m so excited that you got a new camera! So awesome! That's what I want for my birthday too...a new camera. Wish me luck!

Oh no! I missed your birthday. I'm a horrible friend. I'm sorry. Well, happy belated birthday. I hope you had a great day! It looks like Alivia tried to make it extra special!
