We celebrated my birthday on January 8. It was a sweet day with my family. Daddy made me a yummy breakfast before he had to go to work. Peanut and I made cookies and played in the snow during Pumpkin's nap. After the girls were all tucked into bed, Daddy and I had our favorite pizza and watched The Office on our new LCD TV. Thank you, Honey. I was not expecting that.
Over the weekend we headed up north to spend some time with Gigi and his special friend. (Gigi has the internet now. We helped him set up an email account and helped him learn his way around.) We went to church with them and they took us out for lunch to celebrate my birthday. We spent the afternoon playing Dominoes. It was so much fun. We all were a bit competitive and just had a ball learning a new version of the game. There was a yummy cake and some very sweet gifts. Gigi's special friend gave me a beautiful gold necklace and earring set and an Amaryllis bulb to grow here at home.
Dobbie and Papa started me with a new set of skillets, enamel bowls, and Dutch Oven for Christmas. My set grew for my birthday with a roasting pan and a very large lidded skillet. How did they know? My skillets were in horrible shape and I felt bad even cooking in them. I love opening my cabinets and seeing my brand new orange skillets and cookware! They are from the Paula Deen collection and in orange. They are beautiful. (The link will show you the color that I have but those are not the exact pans.)
It was a good birthday. It was fun to see Peanut so excited about my birthday this year. Birthdays really excite her! She loves to celebrate! So does Pumpkin....
