So, today is Wendy and my 37th birthday! Instead of being bummed that we can't celebrate together, I have gotten into the habit, of being thankful for what I do have - my kids and hubby and a great support system of other family and friends! Here is how my family made my day special.

| Card my kids made for me |
Last week when we went shopping for groceries, I told my oldest daughter that she could pick out a cake mix for my birthday. She didn't have to be reminded to make it this morning. I got "banned" from the house while they made preparations. They even ran over to the neighbors for milk since we were out - and she offered to mix up the icing for them since I didn't have any on hand.
Last week for July 4, I showed the girls how to clip a small hole in the corner of a ziplock bag to use to pipe icing in designs onto a cake - that is what she did here - she tinted the icing the neighbor made by adding cocoa to it! Very sweet. Certainly not "perfect", but I'll take this over perfect any day.

They baked this cake all by themselves.
Our neighbor kindly made the icing for them. |

They surprised me with chicken nuggets and cucumbers
for lunch on the front porch! |

| A strawberry smoothie for dessert! |
Yes, I ended up helping clean up dishes - that step will come in time. I had a great day. My hubby came home with an adorable card - and tickets to a music theater to see a comedian we enjoy - I am excited!! It's been a happy birthday.
Glad you had a relaxing day!
