Happy Birthday, Mommy!

I had such a sweet birthday this year with my boys.  Reese took them shopping on a special trip to Walmart where they got to pick out a card, flowers and balloon.  Anderson was so proud of the red roses that he picked and presented to me.  Everett was very adorable bringing me my balloon.  (I think an extra birthday bonus would've been to be a fly on the wall during this shopping trip.)  As it turns out, Reese also let them pick out cupcakes for me which turned into Reese convincing Anderson over and over that we didn't need a sheet cake that was big enough to feed 48 people.  They were able to all agree on a dozen Elmo cupcakes.  :)

This worked out well, though, since Anderson's present idea didn't quite go how he wanted.  He really wanted to get Mommy her very own Lightning McQueen t-shirt to wear.  They had to settle for Cookie Monster if it was something Mommy actually was going to fit into since she's not the size of a toddler boy.  

After a family dinner out for sushi (thank goodness it was a Wednesday night at 5:30- we weren't too disruptive), we came home for cupcakes.  I had to put on my new shirt before I could have one.  ;)  

I was also so excited to get this necklace that I had dropped a huge hint about last July to Reese.  It's a square calendar pendant that has a stone that looks like a diamond (April's birthstone) placed on the month of April which is the month that both boys were born.  I've been hoping that this was coming, so I am thrilled to have it!

Reese also has a surprise planned for me while we are in Vegas in a few weeks, so I'm anxiously awaiting to find out what's in store for me!  Thanks to my sweet guys for a love-filled birthday.  It was a very special day!
