why i love birthdays

Hey chickpees!

Happy Thursday!!

((That means only one more day of work!! Woop woop!!))

So I was actually asked why I make such a big deal out of my birthday.

Here's why.

This is what my birthday celebrations included:

Dinner at Rulli's with B's family.

26 spankings, a pinch to grow an inch, and a punch to grow a bunch by B's 10 year old nephew.

Fishing on the golf course with the most amazing man ever.

Waking up with a smile on my face with extra kisses from that most amazing man ever.

Feeling like I'm on top of the world... even if it is just for a day.

The countless "happy birthdays".

The many many handmade birthday cards from my kids.

The variety of birthday gifts from my kids even though their smiling faces are enough for me.

Eating delicious Olive Garden for dinner with my mommy and B.

Eating my favorite kind of cake.

The most amazing man in the world spoiling me and letting me shop online for my birthday present.

My kids singing "happy birthday" to me over and over and over.

I believe that everyone should feel special on their birthday.

It's their day.

It should be all about them!

That's why I make such a big deal out of my birthday.

I do have to say one of my favorite parts out of that whole list was spending time with B fishing on the golf course.

I hate fish.

Scratch that.

That's an understatement.

I'm terrified of fish.

But I loved spending that time with him!!

Here are just a few snapshots of fishing.

 My first catch!!

Isn't he a handsome little fella??

Second fishy!! 

My third and last catch of the night!! 

I love this stud muffin..

And he's mine, all mine ladies!!

((Notice how he was nice enough to hold the fish for me every time?? Yea.. that's one of the many reasons that he rocks))

Maybe by the end of the summer I'll work up the nerve to touch the fish myself.....

maybe.

Spending time with B doing something that he loves to do??

There's nothing better.

Even if it was freezing outside ;)

Bottom line??

It's ok to spoil yourself every once in awhile.

Did I cheat on my diet and probably gain 5 lbs?

Absolutely.

Do I regret it?

Absolutely NOT.

So go ahead, plan out your own birthday and make it the best birthday ever!!

Happy Thursday

Happy Almost-Spring-Break!!
