Birthday fun & surprises!

Today couldn't have been any better. I woke up to several texts & phone calls wishing me a Happy Birthday! I also got several phone calls stating that they heard my name was on the radio & that I won a gift card to a local restraunt! My mother in law entered my name in a drawing for Birthday's & I won! What a great start to the day!

Avery & I got up & around & headed out for the day. We started off the day with lunch. Aunt Sassy & Alyssa treated us to lunch at Las Palmas, one of my favorite lunch spots! I love Mexican food! We all split fajitas! YUMM!!!!

Tiff surprised me with these beautiful tulips but told me I couldn't get my gift until this weekend! I love tulips & these were just beautiful! Alyssa surprised me with a nice gift card so I could shop! Super sweet! The best part about it was the sweet card that put tears into my eyes!






We took some pictures outside because there was this great brick wall & it was just too pretty to not take pictures in front of! Alyssa is GREAT with the camera so I asked her to snap several pics of us in front of this wall & I just loved them! I wanted to capture every second of Avery's first time with Mommy on her Birthday! I thought they turned out so great! After lunch we headed to the mall for some shopping! We enjoyed purchasing a few accersories & hanging out all afternoon giggling, what we seem to do best...








After a fun afternoon I went home to freshen up & get Avery settled since my mom was watching her all evening. Chad kept telling me to hurry because he wanted to get somewhere before they closed. I couldn't figure out what it was or where we were going. So we just drove around town & finally ended up at the camera store. YES, CAMERA!!! I got a new camera for my BDAY! It comes in on Monday- I can't wait to pick it up! I am so excited. I have been wanting a new good camera for a year now. I love capturing all of life's precious moments & to get this was seriously a dream come true! Chad, you are AMAZING!
