grateful for another b-day?

and, yes it did take all of us to blow out that many candles!

i am grateful to be able to have another birthday! a few months back, i probably wouldn't have said that, but in all reality, there was a great possibility that i may have not been here for this one. so... YES,YES, YES, i am grateful to be another year older.

my kids asked me what i wanted for my birthday a while back, and i told them i didn't want them to buy me anything. "just have the grandkids draw me a picture" is what i told them, and this is what i got...

(i have very talented children) and isn't this just the cutest, ever!

thank you , kids! this was a great birthday for me!
