My Birthday

I had a wonderful 30th birthday party. Some friends and their families told my mom that they wanted to come over and help me celebrate my birthday. I thought it was very nice of them since they were supposed to go caroling with some people from their church. When they heard that it was just our family celebrating my birthday they told my mom that they wanted to come over and help us celebrate. I had a great time the kids made homemade birthday cards, and also colored me some pictures as a present. As you can see from the pictures I got blessed with a lot of gifts. I love lotions and body washes so my mom and sister found a lot of it and gave it to me for my birthday. I was telling my mom that my lips get drier up here so she bought me a lot of chapstick. The earings are because in the process of moving from our friends house I lot almost all of my earrings. It was a blessing because yesterday when I took a suitecase that I lived out of when we were at the friends house out of the trunk of my car I found them. I was so exvited that I called my mom and told her. The kind of cakes that I had for my birthday were carrot cake, and a cherry cake. These are two of my favorite kind of cakes. We had a lot of fun playing games like you take a match box and put several different items in it and then you let everone individualy look at the box for a minute and a half and then they have to write down what they saw for memory. We also played hot potato, and a game where you have to try to keep a bolloon in the air and everytime that the balloon comes to you you have to name a animal. It was a great time and having friends and family there made it feel even more special. Thank God for another year that He allowed me to live. blessings to all, Marlene
