So sweet and thoughtful..

My favorite thing about my birthday is watching my kids sneaking around preparing to "surprise" me. Usually it is some sort of surprise breakfast in bed with home made cards or something. This year I was excited because they were busy making and wrapping/re wrapping stuff for a couple of weeks before. It was fun to be excited, and truly SURPRISED! I guess my kiddos are getting big enough to be able to keep a secret. (I'm not sure I'm ok with that or not yet.) Anyway, here they are with all their presents for me.
Olivia made me a beautiful card with a little book in it. So sweet I was fighting back tears the rest of the morning. Grant wrapped me up some BOY diapers inside the box of chex. This was very thoughtful, because my kids are so offended that the in a box of pampers there are boy and girl characters on them and it makes them so upset whenever Seth is wearing a girl character diaper. Isaac did his shopping in our pantry. He wrapped up a can of Cream of Mushroom soup, and a half eaten box of Honey bees. He also gave me a little stuffed animal of his. I am so proud of my kiddos to be so thoughtful and creative. Isaac was a little bummed that I didn't eat my cream of mushroom soup for lunch that day, but I told him I was saving it for my favorite casserole and he was ok with that. At least we got to enjoy the rest of the box of Honey Bees. Ryan gave me and O tickets to a musical, and I also got cards from family. Thanks so much everyone. I love ya!
