Greetings Sweet Friends,
How are you today?? Hope you have had a good week. It has been a bit busier than normal as we are gearing up for 3 birthdays as you will read, but it has been a good week, and a fun week preparing.
Pictures today are of Pretty birthday cakes in honor of Birthday week at Cozy Place. Hubby and his sister and lil darling all within one week. Well, 8 days this year because of leap year. lol I would like a slice of all of them....
On with my Thankfuls................
#1
Thankful we got to see lil darling after our time away. Had a good school day, and then we all went to dinner, so that was fun. Sort of a pre-birthday celebration.
#2
Thankful that I was able to find some napkins while away, that spurred a plan for the birthday table.
#3
Thankful that all gifts are wrapped accept one that hasn't arrived yet. It arrived but it was damaged so had to send it back. Nice that Amazon automatically reordered it for us.
#4
Thankful that we are getting to spend lil darlings birthday with her. She is 11 yrs.old today, and today is a school day, so we tried to make it a fun morning. We gave her all but 2 of her gifts (from us and her Aunt Dee), so that she would have something to open this coming Saturday with everyone else. She loved everything and everything fit, which was great. We also got breakfast sandwiches from Duncan Donut (which she loves) and got her a fun-fetti cake, (one of her favs.) So she is a happy girl, and is now working on her school work which isn't too bad since we tried to get a lot done on Friday. So should be a shorter day than normal. She has been birth daying since Friday. So it's been a good birthday, for sure, and she still has Sat. to go...........lol
We are all about dragging birthdays out as much as possible around here!
Thankful that I finally have decided what to make them for their birthday dinner. It was sort of a hard decision cause they don't all like the same things. Dessert was easy as they all love Banana Pudding.
#6
Thankful that a dental appt. I was supposed to have this week got moved to April due to my Insurance info wasn't back yet. Have to say I was happy about that since hubbies birthday is on Thursday, we home school on Friday and then the other festivities are on Saturday.
So gave me a lil breathing room!!
#7
Thankful that we were able to enjoy sitting out on our porch this morning. Enjoyed hearing the birds singing! The sounds of Spring......
#8
Thankful for a really sweet story I read in the Epoch times about a couple who sang their way thru the labor and delivery of their 2nd child, a baby boy. They are both singers, and they truly value God, children and babies. Wish I could have found a way to share it with you.
#9
Thankful for a sweet text from one of our Pastors wanting to know if we were okay,cause he had missed us, the past 2 weeks.
Always nice to know you are missed.....
#10
Thankful we were able to get my hubby a Dr. appt. for Monday of next week,as he has a cyst that is weeping, and needs to get that taken care of. Sometimes these days it takes a long time to get appointments, and this is a new Dr. as well.
#11
Thankful for my Wonderful Hubby of over 53 years. Today is his 76th birthday, so looking forward to the day, and the family celebration on Saturday for all 3 birthdays.
#12
Thankful our tree is not dying. Looked out the window this morning and our Oak trees have been shedding for awhile now, and when I saw some lower limbs they were so bare I thought our tree was dying, so went out on the porch to have another look and altho they did look dead, I looked up to the top of the tree only to see lots Spring green new growth.
So was very happy about that!!
#1. What joy you share together!
ReplyDelete#2. I can hardly wait to see them!
#3. It is so good these companies have such good service!
#4. 11 years old! Where does this time go!!!
#5. Sounds yummy!!!
#6. I didn't realize Medicare/supplemental insurance doesn't pay for dental!!! My inlay fell out yesterday and has left a big hole!!! I'll make an appt. Monday!
#7. Oh yes! Aren't their songs enjoyable. I say they are singing to the LORD!
#8. Praise our LORD!
#9. Praise GOD!
#10. I pray the LORD goes before you and has an appt. ready for you!
#11. I pray every day thanking GOD's Almighty LOVE that ties together your love for each other!
#12. Yeah! Mine are all bear or have brown leaves blowing all over!
Love you, Susan
Beautiful cakes and great things to be thankful for. Visiting from Sweet Tea & Friends linkup.
ReplyDeleteOh my, those cakes are all so beautiful - how would one ever choose a favorite! Glad you have all these celebrations and blessings to be thankful for, and I love that you express gratitude for things like doctor's appointments to address health concerns. We are making plans to be able to celebrate our daughter-in-law's birthday when our kids come for a visit later this month and I'm so looking forward to being with all of them and to treat her to some special things as well.
ReplyDeleteMorning Susan, Was happy to hear you were able to find and get in to see the dentist so quickly. What a blessing. Yea, we can hardly believe she is 11 now too. Have a lovely day hon, Love, Nellie
ReplyDeleteMorning Jennifer, So happy you could visit and thanks you so much for your kind comments. I have to say I would have a hard time choosing one of those cakes myself, they all looks so yummy. Have a great day.
