My birthDAY in Pictures

My birthday

used to be about BIG presents,

and lots of them,

a "special" cake with sparkly candles,

balloons and streamers,

and being the center of attention

for an e.n.t.i.r.e. day.

And while all those things

are totally awesome,

this year's birthday

was a bit different...

and completely perfect.

I woke up at 7am,

went to Church,

taught Sunday school to

40 adorable kiddos,

came home to a sick hubby and baby

{I'm still sick too, btw},

had a quick bite to eat,

and then took an

impromptu trip to the beach.

There was splishing,

there was splashing,

there was even a fully clothed

face plant into a wave

by Baby W.

Baby W had the time of his life,

and, as usual, he enjoyed

being the center of attention

for an e.n.t.i.r.e. day.

And I couldn't imagine

a better way to spend my birthday.
