Turning 33!

Birthday gatherings at 33 are much different than gatherings when you are eight. My birthday was just over a week ago and I was fortunate enough to have two wonderful family gatherings. I love birthdays and holidays because it is a reason to celebrate as a family. The girls love these days because they love cake and presents (which is evident in the following photos). I can remember turning eight and how exciting having a birthday was. As I turned 33 my excitement came from watching the girls celebrate for me. They loved decorating my cakes with candles, singing and blowing out the candles for me, and opening all of my gifts. Me...well I just loved watching them, celebrating with my small family of 5 and my extended families of many more, and of course...eating lots of cake too!
