it's my party!

Before I left for Love Affair Workshop Mike and the kids made big plans for my birthday.  They decided that it would be best and the most fun if they put together a little 70s party (the  year I was born).  

When I walked in the door (after I heard a lot of clomping and whispering and craziness) the BeeGees were playing, a disco ball lit up the room with colors going wild all over the walls, my kids dressed in their best rendition of 70s giddup, and dancing with great John Travolta moves.  I couldn't have asked for a better start to my big birthday.

As soon as I came in the house they kids gave me a treasure map to follow.  It led me outside 30 steps this way, 15 steps this way, X marks the spot.  They gave me a shovel and I dug up treasure.

And really.  It is treasure.  Inside the box was a sweet note from each of my kids and Mike and my thoughtful parents that included a list of 10 things they love about me.  It was wonderful.

We danced, ate cake, ate dinner, and so many other fun things all day. 

My birthday was fun and creative and thoughtful and perfectly the way I had hoped it would be.

Thank you to my perfect-for-me little family.

birthday. LOVE.
