h.b.d.t.m., h.b.d.t.m....

whatever...

yep... another year gone by.

and yes... i did need help blowing out all of those candles!

we had my birthday dinner on sunday, out at george and mel's. my kids are always so thoughtful, and i love spending special times with them!donnie smoked a turkey and the girls fixed the rest of a yummy dinner! of course, german chocolate cake with vanilla icecream was for dessert (since that is my favorite! thanks again, mel!!)

trying to get 8 little ones rounded up to take a picture, is like herding pigs. most of the time, it just doesn't happen, and if it does, you have to take what you can get.

this is a "cheese!" picture

and of course, the only one when they are all looking is the one they could pull faces in.

i'm grateful to have another birthday, just wish the 'years' didn't keep creeping up on me. i want to be around to see these cute little grandkids grow up and have their own. i have been sooooo blessed, and thank my Heavenly Father every day for the many, many blessings he sends my way!

soooo...

Happy BirthDay To Me!
