One year older and wiser too!

What is the best birthday activity...well it starts out the night before watching a much anticipated movie with your girlfriends, getting to sleep in two hours longer than normal, followed by opening presents as soon as you get out of bed, breakfast at the Original Pancake House with my handsome husband, shopping with my new birthday money, lots of happy birthday phone calls and texts, and to be finished off by watching only the most exciting football game of the year...BYU vs UTAH with lots of great company!

By far November 22 is the best day every year. My mom called this morning to wish me a happy birthday. Every year since I can remember she would come into my room and wake me up to tell me "the story of my birth". It is one of my favorite memories.

So I got reminiscing today and looking through some old photos...man I am one cute baby, and child. You can see I tried really hard to come to this earth with my dad's amazingly tan skin, and dark features. But then reality set in and I turned pale and freckly like my mom's family. I love my winged out hair, so Farah Fawcett!
I always loved this red coat, I have so many pictures of me in it. My little sister got to wear it when she was young too, we always fought about who looked cuter. I was just learning to hit on the boys in this picture. Check out my winking skills! Watch out fella's.

Cute! Glad you had a great birthday. That kind of day sounds like heaven. Your mom came into your room with your birth story? That totally reminded me of Gilmore Girls. hahaha
