XXXIII


Well since everyone else in our family gets a post when it is their birthday- I will write about myself.

Here are some of my favorite things about this years birthday festivities. I like to celebrate for a full week :)

1. My dad made me a delcious birthday dinner of my choice (a few days early)- A Wok. Oh it was so delicous and I love my dads cooking.
2. We had a family party it was really nice to get together. Thank you everyone for coming (and for the perfect gifts!).
3. I decided to treat myself with some new pants. I did my semi- annual trip to the DI and found 4 pair of way cute levis for $17. Yahoo!!!
4. I went and spent my Kohl's gift card today and got some cute black shoes and a pair of pants for $27 dollars. Yes, I am cheap :)
5. Progress has actually been made on our basement. Oh, that is such a great present. Painting can begin soon. We are trying to decide on colors.
6. On the night of my birthday Jim asked me what I wanted to do. I picked Leatherby's. DELICIOUS!!! I haven't been there for over 10 years and the Traci's Peanut Butter Cup was just as I remembered.
7. Lizzie got me some "Mexican Coke". Although I am not drinking Coke right now I broke the rules to drink her present. Yum!!!
8. I am sure Jim and the kids would comment on my amazing quality of patience, craftiness, artistic skills and ability to keep a clean house :)


Finally...

When your daughter makes you a birthday card like this




you realize that 33 is a pretty good age to be :)

2010

Wow! Is it really 2010?

In 2010....

This boy will be baptized.


This girl I am sure will continue to be the one to make us laugh the most and of course lose our patience the most with.


And these two will get the chance to show us how much trouble the curious minds of TWO TWO YEAR OLDS can be.


As for Jim and I-
we will try our best to enjoy every moment.


In between those things we hope to go on a family vacation, make a dent in our medical and student loan debt and I would like to run a marathon sometime in this year. Happy New Year!!!
