Birthday happiness

• Zo waking me at 5:30 AM, then snuggling into bed beside me...
• Opening presents in bed in the morning before Jeff went to work...the kids picked their own gifts for me and they did well with a down vest and some Steamboat T-shirts...
• Other sweet gifts from people I love...
• Going on a hike with the kids and some friends at Rita Valentine to release the snails they had brought up from Junction the day before. Luke, after running around a corner on the trail with the other kids and then reporting back: "Mama! We saw something! It was either a deer or a rabbit or a rock!"
• A facial in the afternoon...so lovely...
• Sushi for dinner...yum...
• German chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream, my favorites...
• Stories upstairs with my kiddos before bed...
• The porch with my husband after the kids went down...
• A good night's sleep...

XOXO
