I was all prepared to be sad on my birthday this year. I know that's dumb. I'm just so used to my sweet friends and family loving me for my whole birthday week, and I knew I wasn't going to get that. Boy, am I glad I was wrong!

| We didn't get seated by the fireplace at Jamie's, but this was a great spot too. I love the frames! |
 |
| After dinner we went to G&D's, the ONLY ice cream/coffee shop in Oxford opened past 5 p.m. |
 |
| The kids couldn't wait to get home to open the box that several people from Northside sent us. Believe it or not, this picture was actually not staged! |
 |
| Jeff and the kids bought me a scarf (a must have here) and the best slippers ever to keep my already cold feet from just freezing right off in this cold country |
I am a girl that loves getting (and giving) cards. I never thought I'd get a card that said Happy Birthday Mum, but this year I did. I also got a card from a neighbor that just made my day and a handmade one from a new friend that made me smile because it had a picture on the front of a super cool cake she intended to make me and on the inside was a picture of what it actually turned out to look like... two very different pictures. What's more is that she pitched the cake, made a speedy Amazon order and bought me the greatest book. After I opened it she said, "please tell me that you don't already have that book." I had to confess that I do own it and in fact, it's the only devotional book I brought with me because I love it so much :-)

| My birthday was a big hit this year... almost as big of a hit as the kids celebrating at 11:11 on 11/11/11 |
