Here's the cute and funny card my sassy and beautiful daughter gave me.
(don't know why it's sideways)
The festivities started Saturday afternoon. After our annual Primary "Meet the Teacher" activity/breakfast, Elizabeth, Julie, and Valynn (sorry for the shameless theft of your photos Valynn) took me to Taco Bell, er uh, Olive Garden for lunch.
We had fun and they had a turn watching me blush for the birthday song. I know I have enjoyed watching them on their birthdays! Maybe a little too much.;)
Me and Elizabeth
Valynn and Julee
On Monday night, Lee and Mark took me to dinner at Mi Amigos. I never knew they sang to you there until I got my birthday coupon. I got $5.00 off my meal, free sopapillas and a song complete with sombrero! They start singing as they leave the kitchen so everyone in the restaurant is staring. Then, who should be walking in about the same time? Joanne and Tom Asburry and her twin sister and her husband. They were seated right next to us. Great! Witnesses!!
Tuesday,(yesterday) my actual birthday, Lee had wrestling reffing to do and Mark had Mutual, so I settled in for a day and evening to myself. I made myself a chocolate cake and went to Party City and bought myself a balloon bouquet. For all they knew I was buying balloons for a "14" year old girl!
About 3:45pm Brittany came over. She had taken the day off work, just for me! What a sweet and wonderful daughter. Brittany took me to get my "paws" done, front and back. Then, she took me to dinner at where? Drum roll please..........big surprise........Olive Garden! Anyone know that I love Olive Garden? MMMMMmmmmmm pasta, salad, and breadsticks, oh my.
I received 24 "happy birthdays" on Facebook, a handful of birthday cards, and phone calls too. Lisa Perry came over and brought me a small tin of Danish butter cookies because we had run into her and her family at Target last week and I was looking for some. I don't think she knew it was my birthday, but, I'm counting it anyway because it was ever so sweet and thoughtful.
So, thank you everyone. It sure made a wonderful day and look, I get another year! I'm going to make it a good one. My love to you all.

Now THAT is my kind of Birthday!
Happy belated Birthday Charmen! May this year bring you completed goals, sore cheek muscles (from smiling so much), and good fortune in every fortune cookie you eat.
Wow sometimes you scare me! That is funny that we have the same background. Haven't we done this before? So I am glad that you had a great birthday and that you didn't have the spend the night alone. I meant to call but yeah lets just say Tuesday was interesting. Anyway I love the sombrero! Oh and if you are going to steal pictures from me why didn't you take the most important one? :) Oh BTW your card reminds me of the guinea pig on Bedtime Stories.
Wow, you didn't tell me about all this. A day to remember!
Happy Birthday Charmen! I don't know how old you turned, but if I had to guess I would say 36. Am I right?
It sounds like you had a great day, and i hope you have a great year too!
Oh, and Noelle's birthday is the 9th, so you guys are close.
