We opened cards in the morning and listened to Briana's new Zoom CD - compliments of Aunt Amy and Uncle Andy. (I listened to my Zoom record every year growing up as a kid!)
Daddy took the day off, so we all went to DAC kids in the morning (That's where Briana proceeded to fall off a ladder. She was fine but gave mommy a heart attack). Then we went to Zaxby's for lunch. Daddy made her glasses out of Wikki Stix that were in her kids meal.
She took a long nap after running around DAC kids, and when she woke up, Grandma and Grandpa came over to eat dinner with us. We ate at Briana's favorite Mexican restaurant. As you can see, she wasn't in the mood to take a picture - there was food to be eaten...
I LOVE tortillas!!!!
And she got a special dessert, along with a song and sombrero.
I am ready for my candles now...
Good gawd, I love opening presents!
Briana and Grandma
New presents - golf clubs and princess shoes. Nice combination!
The day was wonderful and amazing. But, I needed to do something that day. I lit a candle to remember Briana's birth parents. For without them, I would not have my precious daughter with me today. Bri's birthday is a celebration of her life, but it is a day of loss as well. The loss of her birth parents. I am sure that they were thinking about her on that day, as I was thinking of them. So, I lit a candle for the sacrifice they made - a sacrifice that I will be forever grateful for.
7 Kind Words:

I love the photos, (the one with the sombrero~adorable and the dessert~ YUM!!!) Her birthday seems like a perfect day for all of you.
And to give tribute to her birth parent is very special.

Okay...I cried reading about the candle! Great idea and it's nice to see that you thought about them and acknowledged them.
What great pics. Happy birthday to sweet Briana! (Hannah just fed her some raisins while I was looking at the pics...too funny).
Looks like she had a blast. I love that you lit the candle.
