Birthdays and Presents and Cubbies, Oh My!

Last Friday I was woken up by my daughter peering at me, saying, "Mommy....you knows it's yours birf day?"

It was a normal work day and all that jazz, but I was looking forward to that night with all my girls. And I was hoping that one of my birthday gifts from Mike and the kids was my Aramis Ramirez Cubs jersey.

At work, my boss gave me a gift and then early that evening Mike and the kids gave me all my goodies. The girls came over a bit later, and I was spoiled with plenty more stuff!

It was a wonderful day. Spent with people I care about (and care about me!), talking, laughing and having a good time (and the presents aren't all that bad either!).

I made quite the haul - and I GOT MY JERSEY!



Plus, my birthday festivities continued this week as Tuesday me, my husband and son were all treated to a Cubs game (with my dad). It was a joint present for mine and my husband's (the White Sox fan) birthdays. The game was awesome (Cubs won 9-5!) and it was nice to share in my son's first visit to Wrigley Field (one of the greatest places on Earth!) with my dad.



I'll admit, I was spoiled. But who doesn't enjoy that?

Thanks to my girls (Melissa, Donna, Nanci, Julie, Karyn, Deb) for celebrating with me, and for your thoughtfulness. I appreciate and love each of you. Thank you!

(And Thanks to my hubby, kids, & of course mom & dad (who I am still not sure if they are reading here or not) ... Love you Guys Too!!)
