A Great Day

My first birthday as a mom - check! It was a such a nice day. Doug worked from home and my mom (who is so sweet) came over mid-morning to watch Briana so Doug and I could have lunch out alone - just him and me. So nice! She also brought me beautiful orange roses. She is the best!

I received phone calls from my dad, sister and my sister-in-law (unfortunately I missed my sis-in-law's call, but I am kind of glad because she sang "Happy Birthday" to my voicemail and I loved it! Girl - you rock!) I also received flowers from my friend Deb (my childhood friend) and they were so beautiful. Another lifetime friend of mine, Jennifer, sent me an adorable key chain that I can put a picture of Briana in. Doug and Briana gave me an amazing necklace and matching earrings. Thanks to all my friends who sent cards and e-mails and posted sweet comments on my blog.

My mom left after Briana's nap and then Doug, Bri and I went out for a quiet dinner. When we got home, I blew out the candles on my cake. It was the perfect ending to a great day.

Me and my Bri.

Aren't we cool? :)
