Happy Birthday to Me :)

Yesterday was my birthday and besides being stuck at home with sick kids it was a pretty good day:) The kids gave me a card & so did Mark. He left his here over the weekend and told me not to open it until my birthday. He also couldn't wait to give me my birthday present so he gave that to me last week. He got me "The Pioneer Woman Cooks" which I love! Especially since I happen to be obsessed with her blog :) My Mom baked me a cake and Wes delivered it and a present that I opened with the kids later. I also treated myself to a foot long Subway Veggie Delight for dinner - and I have half of it for lunch today:) After dinner we ate some cake and then I played Yahtzee with the kids - Patrick won. I told him that wasn't very nice....since it was my birthday and all:) After the kids went to bed I broke open the yummy delicious bottle of wine that Emily gave me the other night and had a glass - it was soooo good. All in all a good birthday - I wish Mark could have been here though. Probably celebrate with the rest of the family when the kids get to feeling better.

Patrick was my photographer since I was the subject of the photos - he did pretty good!

Benny and I with my pink cake.

Do you think I could have at least put on an attractive shirt since I was going to be in a picture?
Benny took this one. It looks like Patrick wants a piece of cake!
Getting ready to open my presents.
Grace still looks like she feels awful.
My new dish towel - isn't it cute?

Emma is the biggest camera ham ever :)

Ma & Wes got me this cute yellow top too! I love it!

Here we are playing a game before bath/bed time. I think Grace is blowing on the dice for luck ;o)

YAHTZEE!!!

This put Patrick over the edge and he beat me - the little stinker!
