My little cupcake with icing all over her face doing her "SOOO EXCITED" face! Soo funny!

In my mind, I had planned on my 28th birthday coming and going relatively uneventful. However, to my great surprise, it turned out to be one of the best birthdays I have EVER had! Caroline slept great so I woke up very rested and excited about the day. Over coffee Tony gave me two very very sweet cards and an under the cabinet LCD TV which is just what I had hoped for:) But even better was that he had scheduled for me to have a massage that afternoon. (Thanks sooo much Tony, you are THE BEST husband ever) So just before noon, I dropped Caroline off at Gram and Gandpa's house to play while I had a fantastic brunch with my wonderful friend Rebecca. After brunch I had time to piddle around Friendly Shopping Center (which is an unusual treat) and then I stopped by my brother Jason's house for a visit before going to get the massage Tony planned for me. After the wonderfully relaxing rub down, I went back to my parents house to hang out with them and my sweet Caroline. We had a GREAT dinner (thanks mom) and a fun time with the whole fam! After a full day of birthday celebrating, I stopped by our neighborhood's wine wednesday group where they surprised me with a cake...that was sooo sweet and unexpected! The whole day was full of unexpected kind birthday wishes and very very gracious gifts. I went to bed with the biggest smile on my face and thanked God for all of my precious, special, and thoughtful family and friends who made my 28th birthday sooo wonderful!
