Birthday Celebrations

Sweet Kellie took me out for my birthday yesterday.  We went to Rainbow Gardens and had a great visit. We both tried a new item that was on their special for that day.  It was a Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich which was pretty yummy. I love going to Rainbow Gardens and looking around.  I remember I use to buy things there but now everything seems so expensive...it is fun to look though.  It's always fun for me to be with Kellie.  I admire Kellie so much.  She has so many wonderful qualities.  She is a friend that inspires me to be better.

Kellie gave me a cute cup filled with chocolate and lemon-aid.  She even gave me chocolate chap stick. It was the perfect gift.  I had been borrowing Jared's cup that is like this and had I wanted to get me one for myself....now I have one and the chocolate....well, you know...I LOVE CHOCOLATE so it was perfect.

I look at our picture and think: "Kellie is so beautiful...inside and out!"
Today I went to lunch with my mom, sister and Linda to celebrate birthdays.  My mom actually gave all us girls gifts.  She got us each a nightgown.  I love the nightgown's that my mom buys...they are the best and really they are the only ones I wear.  Linda's birthday is in February like my mom's but Linda's mom's birthday would have been today and so she got the gift.  I love this new little tradition my mom started a few years ago.  It's fun getting together and remembering the past and celebrating the now.  When we get together there is no choice of what we will eat...we have baby back ribs.  It's what my mom and Sevam use to always have...so it's what we have!  They are yummy!  I bet Sevam was with us~enjoying this tradition and remembering when her and my mom would come to celebrate her.

My mom is so generous and kind.  She works hard so that she can do nice things for others.  I have tried to do the same.  I love how happy my mom was today..she glowed!  What a fun day!
