36

I am  officially 36 years old....

I am getting a little bit closer to 40 each day.  Yikes!   I get no sympathy in this house though since I married a guy older than me who is already past the 40 mark:)  I still feel like I am in my 20's until I hang out with people in their 20's and realize I AM NOT  there anymore.  It's a good thing though.  I am at a pretty good place in my life right now. 

  Birthday celebrations got extended out over a few days which I am not complaining about :).

Here are a few of the celebrations.

-Harrison/ Higley Birthday tri-celebration

 

We celebrated January birthdays with Jim's side of the family.  I am lucky enough to share January birthdays with Jim's mom and Jim's sister Liz.   They are amazing women and it was fun to share the  celebrations with them.

We each got to pick our own dessert. Since I am not a cake fan, apple pie was my choice.  Cherry Chip for Liz and Mint Ice Cream Pie for Jim's mom.

Nice to be together with family. Thank you everyone for getting together and the wonderful presents.


-Birthday Eve at Leatherby's.
A fun little tradition that I made up a few years ago :)

- Going to the Children's Museum on my actual birthday. 
That's where everyone goes for their 36th birthday right? :)  Seriously though, sometimes the best present my children can give me is letting me see them explore and be happy.  It was a good day.

He made a Wok stir-fry for me.   ALWAYS delicious.  Thank you Dad!

 

 

-Jim's present to me was re-doing our main floor bathroom. 
Ethan and Lizzie were more than willing to help with the demolition part.

My birthday celebrations are now over.  Next up in the Birthday season line-up......

LIZZIE!
