Unlike so many people, I don't have a problem with 40. In fact, I couldn't wait to get there! I just knew that my 40th birthday would be an amazing day. January 14, 2009 was so much more than I could have ever imagined!
It began with family and friends calling to wish me happy birthday. I had a great work out and then went to my neighbor's house for hot chocolate and treats. My other neighbor asked me if I would be home around 2:30 or 3p so I was looking forward to a visit from her and her two boys later. I had a great day doing whatever I wanted to do and then my doorbell rang. I expected to see Jenn and the boys but when I opened the door I found SEVENTEEN kids on my front stoop & down the stairs! They were there singing "Happy Birthday" with a bouquet of tulips, a huge card and birthday balloons! Y'all know I started crying! :-D After they finished, one of the moms gave me a bottle of champagne from "the big kids". Do I have THE BEST neighbors or what?!!
Since I didn't get permission from their parents to post this picture on my blog, I've blurred out the faces of the precious "chorus" members but you can see how many there are. OH! These kids are all in elementary and pre-school so the oldest is in 5th grade. Can't you just hear those sweet voices singing "Happy Birthday" right now? It was as amazing as you're imagining!
This is what the kids had for me (minus the champagne).
