January 4th- My special day!

Friday night we had a nice evening out with family. And as you can see from the pictures...the kids entertained themselves just fine. In the future, I'm going to make sure they are washable markers!! If you can't see, Sam has a #5 written in the middle of his forehead and blue lines under his eyes to make him resemble a football player. He has more writing on his stomach and arms but the best is the message that Lawton wrote on Sam's back-- "I love my foxy mom" --Samuel is still laughing about it.

Then, Saturday night we dropped the kids off at the Green's! We had a delicious dinner at Lightfoot in Leesburg! It was nice visiting with everyone after the holiday rush. The kids were so excited to have Ms. Katelyn (their old teacher) babysit them. Ms. Katelyn's leaving this week to go overseas for several months-Samuel is already missing her.

My final celebration was on Sunday. After dinner, Samuel and daddy surprised me with my very own Transformer cake....just what I've always wanted! Thanks guys. :-) Samuel also drew smiley faces on every corner of my kitchen table with a black permanent marker, because "we were having a party," he said and wanted to decorate.

A big thanks to everyone who made my weekend special. I have had a wonderful birthday this year! I am one lucky girl!
