Ammon was kind enough to come home early from work that day because I had some places to go and it was easier to do it sans kids. My mother retired from her job on the same day so I ran over to her workplace to help say goodbye, but it turns out they did that the day before. So while I was out and about, Ammon and the kids set to making my birthday cake. I asked for chocolate -- who wouldn't?
Wellll, the first cake didn't exactly turn out. So we set aside the scraps and made a new one from scratch.
The kids deemed the first cake still quite edible.
He also took the kids over to the party store to pick out balloons and decorations. I loved it all.I also got some pretty awesome presents. Audrey picked out some metallic purple nail polish (but "I can't put it on her nails 'til she's 6" so she tells me) and a manicure kit. Little girl knows her mama well.
Ammon gave me Lark Rise to Candleford season 4, Lego Pirates of the Caribbean (NERD ALERT!) and a very fun apron. I'd been wanting a cuter one for ages.
So now that I am firmly into my 30s, it was a very good day. Much better than last year's, which involved a funeral!
