The Boys Can Throw A Party

One of the many benefits in living in a home full of men is that when it comes to the only female birthday they make it a really *big* deal. 

My boys can really throw a party!

A bigger waffle iron courtesy of my #1 and #3 {pictured here}

This will be much more efficient than the single serving waffle iron already owned - and it was all their idea.  Somehow getting a food related item from my sons is so endearing.

A gift with a sweet card that has a picture of 'Mommy and Langston holding hands and Mommy is yawning'.

I guess that pretty much sums up my life accurately!  I love it.

 

Langston thought Mommy needed some pink duct tape and . . .

 

A pink Maglite.  I am SO spoiled!!

 

Tarver tricked me by wrapping a big box full of dumbells . . .

 

And hiding the most beautiful Swiss Army knife in the bottom.

Yes, pink. 

Except for the pink part, I feel like I totally belong with this band of knife-toting brothers and their Dad now.

Christmas morning should be interesting and dangerous - everyone will be competing with me to get their knife drawn first to slice through tape!

We interrupt this birthday party for an imporant message from Ryland.

Nevermind . . . he's just being himself.

Gift certificates to my favorite restaurant from Dad.

And a hand illustrated card of a sombrero wearing duck.

Consider it saved for the museum, Dad!

A beautiful sweater among many beautiful things from Laura {can't wait to read the books! and dig into all the chocolate!!}

 

A lovely wool cape made by  Mom.

When you get to be my age you also get a personal fashion designer!

Well, only if you have my Mom for yours.

So, that would be you, Heidi.

 And the last gift of the evening was from my Beloved . . .

A lovely *lovely* new camera lens.

Did I already mention how spoiled I am?

And excited?

My first test shot on Ry-man.  I can now Bokeh with the best of them!!

Thank you, awesome friends and family.  I am truly blessed by all of you and thankful especially to my great group of guys here at home.  It was a lovely birthday party.  Thank you.
