My Birthday Family Home Evening


Tonight Braelyn did a family home evening for my birthday. I will have to admit that it will take a miracle for me to actually LiKe this crazy BiRtHdAy! but the girls made me laugh so much. If any of you know I am totally going to spend my birthday in a coffin all day all dressed in black. I am NOT OK with this one. haha

Check out our good times. We glued these candles on 'my' cake one by one. The girls sang me a special song which was a church song 'I Am A Child of God' mixed with 'Birthday Girl'. And Braelyn wrote a knock out poem. It reads: "Happy Birthday Mom, I know you're turnin 30, Don't go getting dirty. You may not be so happy, but I am indeed, cause soon I'll be 11, 1 year older and wiser too, and it's all because of you (in a good way). So happy birthday isn't fun for you, I know you like this birthday poem that I made up especially for you. 

Isn't she so sweet. I loved my fhe!!!! Even if I am not okay with the dreaded day!!! Two months ago I actually wrote on my mirror in my bathroom with eye liner 'be thankful you are in your 20's!!!' Kensington asked if she could take it off today. I said don't rob me girl!!! :)

You are hilarious! I was excited to turn 30 because people have to take you seriously when your thirty... before that you say something and they ask your age and then reply "your not even 30." Now people have to take you seriously. Look for the positive sister!
