25

With all the bustle of Jemma’s 1st birthday, flying to Texas, and the ensuing nursing drama I completely forgot to mention that I turned the big 2-5 on October 5th. A whole quarter century old, I am!

My family was in town for Jemma’s party on the 1st so afterwards we celebrated my birthday at my favorite Italian restaurant. This is the only picture I have from my birthday …

Lovely, isn’t it?

I was super blessed with quite a few thoughtful gifts … a fabric store gift certificate, shopping money for our trip to Texas, this awesome book, this dress, a pair of boat shoes, a tandoori ceramic baking dish, and some matryoshka fabulousness!

Birthdays are great. I pretty much love them :)

What has been one of your most favorite birthdays and/or birthday gifts?
