Mommy's Birthday

See my birthday tiara? We put candles in donuts and sang. Clue number one that I was coming down with something was that I only ate Half a donut. Disturbing, I know. My toddler friends all sang and wished me a happy birthday despite not being able to count to my new age. It was a fun morning.

In the afternoon I went for my hair trial for the wedding!

Princess-y isn't it? Sigh. My awesome birthday present from Lara was a bridal session in the backyard while I had wedding hair. She took some beautiful shots. I especially love a picture she took of Riley admiring my dress. I really can't imagine a wedding without her.

I also got pages of Facebook wishes and some thoughtful cards. Mike replaced my broken car stereo. My dad gave me the Father the Bride movies. Isn't that sweet? I also got a bouquet with beautiful pink roses from one of my best friends, that was a great surprise. Aside from organizing the toddler party in the morning D also gave me chocolates and a gift certificate for a mani/pedi (squeal!!).

By bedtime I was completely run down and Mike was alarmed at my hacking cough so he rushed out for medicine. It was drowsy cold medicine and bed for me. Not a bad day all things considered. I was so worried about my birthday going unnoticed. It did (like any other day) involve some stress, but it was a good birthday.
