Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes yesterday. I had a great day.

We decided to make it a "candle party" as the tiny person says. Here are some pictures of the delightfulness of a candle party:

I have been converted to the idea of birthday wish balloons as seen on nie's blog. It's a very nice idea to think of the coming year and decide what is important for you individually. Then it's also nice to read a plethera of happy wishes from the people around you.

Ooh, I love the idea of the glow sticks. Go Jake. Can't wait to hear what he brought home for your b-day dinner.

I'm so glad you had a wonderful day. :) You deserve it. Love ya friend!

Wendy said...

Wow that was weird, Courtney and I must have been writing our comments at the same time cause hers wasn't there before I started writing mine. And I'm a little disheartened that hers appeared before mine since we both mentioned the coolness of the glow sticks and we started out our post with "ooh" (hers having a few more Os - we must be sisters and now I look unoriginal.

Very awesome idea for candles and balloons and sending them to the sky...what a cute idea. I love it. Your family is so cute, I can't believe how grown up everyone is looking...except you...are you taking some youth formula of some sort...you know you can't hide it if you are...share...

I just went private on my blog and I would love to invite you in. I just don't have your email address. If you get this message and would like me to add you, send me your email address to chelseareeve@gmail.com Thanks Britt!!!

Courtney said...

Yeah, Wendy and I must spend too much time together! Our similar comments are a bit freaky!! But I'm laughing victorious...mine got there first!!! Hee hee hee!

Happy Birthday old lady. Your belly doesn't look that big at all! You look great in fact. Glad you had a good day! I'll call later this week when I have some time to chat.

PS. I just got around to reading your guest post, which was absolutely lovely by the way. But what was funny was that in all the pictures I couldn't shake the feeling that people were missing. Now that I have the girl babies in my head as part of your family- I don't think it will look complete again until I see a picture of the whole bunch together. Ooooh- they will make life so sweet. Two. Tiny. Baby. Girls.

Happy Birthday...late. You have such a beautiful family and home and your words are often quite inspirational. Thanks for letting me sneak a peek into your life once in a while! I feel blessed for it:)

where was all the shameless self-promoting, so those of us who don't know it's your birthday could've been prepared to wish you a good one???

-sigh-

happy belated, my humble friend.
