Birthday Bash & Amber's Homecoming

My birthday was on Thursday of last week and it was such a special day! I felt like I was just pampered. Lil and I went for our usual walk with our friends and then when I got home a fun birthday package was sitting on my doorstep from my sweet friend, Erin--complete with balloons and everything. Later on Shane and I ended up going to dinner at The Baums house where they made us yummy, steak, rolls, salad and I can't forget RAINBOW CHIP CAKE. What a treat! We headed off to the Tri-Cities on Friday morning so that I could make it to my lifelong friend, Amber's homecoming from her mission in South Africa. It was a memorable weekend. I cherish my sweet friends.

So this is Daniel, Erin's hubby, and our family getting ready for some cake!

Lilly was a great helper with blowing out the candles even though she kinda looks ticked off in this picture.

Aren't the twisted candles so fun? Erin, you are the BEST!

My sweet friend, Erin, and I. We really enjoyed the yummy cake.

Amber-Lou and I having a squeeze. Oh, how I missed her. She is amazing.

Welcome home Amber. I love you forever.
