Today was my birthday. It should be a day of pampering and fun, but instead it was a day that I spent with requirements for school. So, of course, I was happy when the day was over and I could come home to my family. I was happy to spend the day with my family. Matt suggested that we find a sitter and go out on a date, but I thought that it would be better to just spend the night with my whole family.
When I walked through the door, the kids were wrapping their presents for me. Hayden made great pains to hide his present from me while Matilyn required my help to finish wrapping my present. The present from Hayden was one of his trains, which is so sweet considering how much you love your trains. The train was "Lady". I know that there was no real thought put into which train he gave me, but it still has a message. Matilyn gave me the photo book that Granny just gave her on Sunday. It was full of photos of the birth of Hayden. Both were beloved presents because they were from my beloved.
We had a great meal together and then bedtime. I am so thankful for my family and on my birthday I just can't help but think that there is no greater gift than the love of my family. I thank God for all of them and wish for a blessed year. Who cares about the number, really?
