This weekend was wild. We have 4 Birthdays in 3 days, so celebrating is always interesting. Saturday was my dad's and my birthday, Sunday was Jeremiah's 4th birthday, and today is my father-in-laws birthday. So it makes for a busy time. The dad's and I celebrated Saturday night together. James and I made steaks, baked potatoes and had a salad. Then for dessert we had Strawberry Shortcake!! One of my favorites, as chocolate does a number on my stomach now. Anyway it was a good time and we really enjoyed the parents being here. I got such a kick out of my daughter out in Spokane. She forgot my B-day again this year, but her little boy was playing with her cell phone and he called me ( The funny part is that he is only 1 year old!!) They let him play with the phone sometimes and it never fails he pushes the button to call Grandma, and then his parents hang up on whoever he calls!!! So then I'll call them back and talk to the little one for awhile. T was so embarrassed about forgetting again. I told her it was okay, I'd just forget hers this year!! : ) She laughed and said that would be pretty hard to do as I plan on being in Spokane for her Birthday this year.
We had Jeremiah's party on Sunday. Uncles, Aunts, Grandparents and Cousins galore!!! He was so excited. The best part was when we made him hide his eyes so we could get his BIG present out. James and I had bought him a bike and boy was he excited. Of course it had to snow Saturday night so we had about 6 or 8 inches on the ground, but he didn't let that stop him. He has been riding it in the house and is being very careful not to run into things!!! We can hardly wait to see what happens when he takes it outside! Anyway, it was a really nice day of fun and laughter. My brother, Rod, and his wife, Leanne, just got back on Saturday from a Caribbean Cruise. They really had a lot to tell us and had some pictures too. They gave me real sterling silver earrings from one of the places they stopped. They are very pretty. They also brought us back some Mexican vanilla. MMMMM.....It smells so nice. Can't wait to bake some cookies and try it out.
So how is everyone out there doing? I would love to know who actually looks at this. I know 2 of my favorite in-laws do, but figure they may be the only readers. Guess I should email other friends and family and let them know I'm doing this. My daughter knows and enjoys reading about home and family.
I guess that's about all for now. I've got to go bake those cookies and see if the Mexican vanilla makes them taste better.
Oh I forgot, I bought myself a cool birthday present, the third movie in the Love Comes Softly series. It is great! Thanks to Don and Elizabeth for getting me the first two and therefore getting me started!! Love you guys!
Have a great week! RJ
