I’m a lucky woman. I woke up yesterday morning to my husband saying “Happy Birthday” and to two beautiful little boys who hugged and kissed me. Oh and after a little prodding, the older one also wished me a happy birthday.
I had a doctor’s appointment and got to hear the glorious sound of my baby’s heartbeat at a rate of 167 beats per minute. That was a “Happy Birthday” in itself.
I got some time to myself to shop and enjoy lunch and the day ended with dinner with my boys and cupcakes that went down OH so easily.
And just so y’all know, I got wished “Happy Birthday” 11 different ways… through Facebook, vocally, by snail mail, by email, by a package from FedEx, with tweets, comments on here, text on my cell phone, calls on my home phone, a hand-delivered card and on chat via Gmail. That’s a lot of ways. Thanks to everyone…. I really do feel lucky today. : )
A few pics from my day…
Here is what Haley (one of my BlogHer roomies) sent me. Isn’t she sweet?? That’s a box of petit fours in case you were wondering…
Me and my boys at Chili’s. Yes I chose the dinner place. I’m a simple girl, what can I say?
Cupcakes to share. Yum.
The birthday “girl.” hee hee.
Flowers from my hubby. Tulips are my favorite. : )

Your cupcakes are so fancy! I would have picked Chili’s too, glad you had a great time.

Happy birthday, Elaine! Looks like you had a great one.
I like chili’s, too. We ate there a few times when we were visiting Florida. If I remember, I liked their fajitas. We don’t have Chili’s in Canada, though.
