Mommy and Me Tea!!!

Today is my birthday. Every year I have one and every year everyone except my mother forgets about me. Over the years, I have learned to deal with it and accept it as no big deal. I don't know if it's just me or if it's the general population, but as I get older birthdays are just another day.

So last night, I went to karate class as usual. I got special attention from the instructor because I wasn't doing a certain move as well as I should be. I got out of class at nearly 9:30 instead of my regular 9:15. My husband calls me and says where are you? I said on my way home. He said well hurry up I miss you. I was like okay... I kind of figured something was up, but I just didn't know what.

Anyways, I pull into the garage and get out of my truck and walk in. At the bottom of the stairs there are a bunch of balloons scattered everywhere and all up the stairs. I continue walking up the stairs and see a lit birthday cake and my kids and husband jump out and yell SURPRISE!! So they had cake while I ate the icing flower!! (I am on a diet well more changing my lifestyle and just generally being healthy)

So that was last night...

Then today I go to school to drop my daughter off like every morning and I ran into a friend of mine where she told me about a Mommy and Me Tea Party. She told me I should stop by and see if they would let me sign up. So of course I did. And I have to tell you it was so much fun!! It was a "Fancy Nancy" theme. My kids love Fancy Nancy.

I have to tell you though it was all the drama. We had to go through dresses because my girls just HAD to dress up. So the girls wore cute little Summer dresses. My girls told me since they were wearing dresses I had to wear one too! So I got dressed up in a Summer dress too.

So we get to where we're going. We go inside and as soon as we walk in we're handed Boa's and Opera Glasses. It was the cutest thing I had ever seen. We got the Opera Glasses so we could "see" the story teller. She was reading one of Fancy Nancy's new books. After the story, it was cupcake, tea, and lemonade time. Then we moved to the back to a bigger part of the room and we made sun catchers and tissue flowers! Then we came back and read one more Fancy Nancy and then they gave away Pupitinis! OMG my girls went to heaven. I didn't see them again for the rest of the night except when they came up to ask if they could put PJs on.

So today made me realize how much love I have in my life. My girls and my husband love me so much. I have the sweetest kids in the world and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
