HOPE Dec. 5th


Ker1 Dec. 21st


Anybody else that's born this month...let me know and I'll add you to the list.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" you two.

I just celebrated my Mom's 68th birthday yesterday by giving her the first surprise birthday party she's ever had. The look on her face when she came in the room full of family and friends almost brought as many tears to my eyes as what came to hers. In this month birthdays are often overlooked because of what happens on the 25th so to HOPE and KER1 make it special.

Oh and Penny asked me to put this up since she has a hard time typing with her paws.

Thanks Honey! They are so cute and wonderful!!

Happy Birthday Hope. Nice pics from the old hubby there. Now I just have to remember to call my mom and tell her happy Bday.

I sincerely hope you had a good year and that the next year is even better. You and Morgan had alot of changes and now you get to spend Xmas with your family. Cheers

Best Birthday wishes, Hope!

Here You are hope...i hope this makes a good birthday picture for you...

Everybody for the great birthday wishes!

I woke up this morning to find a red rose and a birthday card on my computer from my hubby. He also made me a birthday cake and is fixing me chile rellenos for dinner. YUMMINESSS!!

My friends at work got me a birthday card and bought me a cake too. And I bought mini cupcakes to share with my kiddies.

Ciara and Aaron are coming over later today to celebrate with me. I had an awesome day!

Hope.
