bday tidbits

My boys got the memo that it was my birthday and everyone (and their good behavior) was on board for a nice birthday full of treats. J and I both like to spread out gifts and why wait until a specific day to share some birthday cheer?! The boys both crafted for me and I can't tell you how charmed I am that Aiden can sew now! He hid himself in his bedroom and stitched away at that stuffed owl kit on a couple different occasions with a few bits of help from his dad (whose sewing knowledge is probably on par with Aiden's now). It is such a fun surprise treat! Keaton drew on this schnazzy new bag and he was very proud to carry it to the library. J found a shirt with tiny words from one of my favorite books, Jane Eyre, which was a surprise among other gifts like a new Fire stick for the tv.  The cookie cake with another owl was a huge treat we all got to share.  So grateful to my sweet family and friends that all wished me happy birthday too!  It's so great to catch up a bit with friends near and far and I even found out about three new babies on the way on my birthday too!
