Yesterday I had a tea party with my friends to help me celebrate. I had spent the week baking (in between lots of studying with Aaron for his exams). So here is the table just for you to drool over...
With most everything containing chocolate (my fav food) this chocolate tart was definitely the highlight for everyone.
Aaron took this photo to help me remember my day... the best of the three he took but still a bit blurry!
I got spoilt with vouchers (to spend on scrapping goodies), a new devotions book, a lovely plant and also a bag full of choccies.
This morning I had planned to sleep in but ended up waking just after 7 anyway. So after a quick cuddle with Aaron I had my bath and then it was present opening time - Aaron wanted me to open my present as soon as my eyes were open but I quickly put a stop to that one! Keith bought me new dinnerware as ours is on it's way out (after more then 20 years!)
Between Aaron and I, we made flapjacks for breakfast this morning, served on my new plates (which Aaron had first washed too!). After breakfast, we went to church and the congregation sang Happy Birthday to me... though most of them didn't know my name so there was a bit of a flat moment at that point in the song... hehe. Afterwards we went through to my folks for lunch... my mom served a great cold lunch of chicken, beef and salads, with jelly, fruit salad and ice cream for pudding. She also made me a birthday cake.
My present from Mom & Dad was this delightful wind-chime that is now hanging outside my kitchen window waiting for a breeze to make it tinkle.
Now off to have the last slice of chocolate tart before bed... yummy! Will be celebrating a bit more tomorrow at work with leftovers from yesterday.
