Then I met up with some girls for lunch. We had such a great lunch! Sorry for the quality on the picture, it was taken from my phone. Yes, I forgot my camera! I was running so late today that I didn't even get a shower on my Birthday!
My friend Kim got me a gift card to one of my favorite local boutiques so before I picked up Ave I did some more shopping & picked up the most adorable hat. As if I need more hats. I just can't live without this accessory it's my favorite! So I wore it for my Birthday dinner with my parents since I didn't have time to shower & it was raining cats & dogs & I was a disaster! LOL!
Around 2:00 today horrible storms hit Arkansas. I was scared as I left a store with Avery it started hailing on my car. I thought it was going to bust my windshield because it was the size of a golf ball! It was horrible, I jumped in the back seat & tried to find things to cover her head because I was scared that the window would bust. Thank the good Lord it stopped after about 5 minutes. She found it humerous that I put her Easter basket from school on her head. We got some giggles out of it anyway.
With that, it was a rainy evening. I took this picture at my parents before my Birthday dinner. We celebrated with them tonight, & celebrated my Birthday with his parents last weekend. Both his parents & mine gave me some money so I have done a little shopping lately getting ready for spring!
It ended up being such a peaceful evening listening to the storm.
My baby girl was so cute today. I just felt so blessed all day that I had another year of life to celebrate, not only of mine, but also Avery's!
Chad & Avery got me some "TOMS" wedges for my Birthday. They are so cute! That is what I was on the hunt for today. I had some ordered for Avery at a local store but they sold them after I ordered them which really upset me! So I am ordering hers to match mine, (flats of course), online sometime this week. We will be twinkies!
My brother & Tiffany got me some perfume that I have been wanting for ages! It's the DKNY, "Be Delicious". So yummy smelling. I am horrible about buying perfumes. What a perfect gift... I was totally shocked!
My Mom loves to do pretty things for others, make dinners, help in any way, etc... I am so much like her in so many ways! She made a huge meal for us tonight & set the table so precious for all of us to enjoy a big meal at as a family. It was so perfect... & me. I love her so much!
We all had a nice dinner together starting with a salad & then chicken with a new rub I have been wanting to try, corn, green beans, & potatoes that were delicious! Dessert was of course the beautiful petifores from one of our favorite bakeries!
Since Easter is Sunday & we will be splitting it between Chad's family & mine, Mom decided to give us a little surprise! She made us Easter baskets. How cute is that? We are all between the age of 29-35 & she still makes us treats. I think this is why I am the way I am with Avery. I always remember those things & I love how she always keeps the spirit alive. She always puts our favorite things in there with some little extra goodies that we need. I just can't thank my parents enough for the small things. I hope to always live on that memory with Avery. It melts my inside to the core.
I had the most perfect Birthday today. I am so thankful to be able to spend it with my family! I get to celerbate with my girlfriends next weekend after Easter. We have a big fun gathering planned to celebrate all of our April Birthdays together in a big group!
Thank you all for everything you did! Lots of hugs & kisses to my ENTIRE family & friends! I loved all the little notes I got today! =)
