Birthday Surprise

My kids are always trying to find presents that will make me cry, they think I'm a sap, and secretly I think that they bet on if the present will do the trick. This year it did. I refuse to show the one picture, I am NOT photogenic but this one I will show you... you get the drift.

I am a Sap
I am a Mush
I love my Kids and Hubby


What made me cry you wonder....




Don't they look exactly like our Kizzy and Macy? 
This lady they commissioned did a fantastic job and accomplished this from a photo our resident photographer, Jessica, took.

You know what is really unbelievable....
This lady had it done in a day and a half!

Our SIL, Sven and soon to be new dad made me my Birthday dessert,
DEATH BY CHOCOLATE.


Don't ya just want to dunk your face in it...
and
even though it was pretty...
it wasn't but a brief moment before the large spoon dove in and started scooping up that wonderful deliciousness called....
CHOCOLATE LOVE.

I also got some great glass storage containers that Betsy saw on my Pinterest board. Pinterest is awesome for ideas and to have a "wish list" that family can go to for gift ideas, right?
Love Pinterest

And here are a few more pictures.

In April my blogging buddies are planning on getting together with me for a late Birthday celebration, they are some great gals, lots of fun and have become some really fantastic friends. I am so glad to know them all.

So the celebration continues...

I'll be there.

And that was a GREAT painting and looked just like them - 1 1/2 days is amazing. You have great kids.

Happy Birthday again.
