This year, we celebrated my birthday over the course of a couple of weeks. Kevin dubbed it my Hanukkah birthday.
We did the baseball game (and I got my awesome new sweatshirt) on July 16 and then, the day before my birthday, he got me a Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake and the boys picked out these awesome orange flowers (they know I love orange). Cards and well wishes rolled in daily and then, on Saturday, July 30, we went to my parents' house to do the usual family birthday celebration. I got awesome stuff from my sisters and my parents.
I'm thinking celebrating this way takes the sting out of that whole "getting older" thing. I might have to do it this way from now on!
