I think I have been blessed with the two sweetest daughter-in-laws possible. They both were worth the 23 year wait! They are wonderful wives for our sons, and the best moms for our grandchildren. Then to top that off, they both make me feel so loved and special. My recent birthday was a top notch example of that.
The day before my birthday I received this cute card in the mail from Canada - 'Happy Birthday Omma'
Isn't the inside wonderful? Hand prints of those 3 special kids in Ontario!!How cute and creative!
And this beautiful card with my favorite colored flowers made by our daughter in law in Birmingham.
While I was having lots of fun in the living room with Ellie, Bekah and Lydia,
Claire was working away in the kitchen for this fantastic roast beef dinner with all of the trimmings. 
The wonderful cook with Bekah.
She even went to the trouble of grinding hazelnuts so she could surprise me with a gluten free cake. I think each candle represents 10 years, not one though.
Ellie watching me open my gifts. 
Modeling the home made scarf from Claire, and a music book to test my skills. Some of the side benefits of growing old are well worth it!!
The morning of my birthday I was also blessed with another special treat - hearing Craig share from the Word in a local church. I was sooooooo happy I could be part of that audience and have the blessing of listening to him share with us things that God had taught him. What a great birthday treat - icing on my birthday cake!!
Then on our way back home we stopped in at The Oak Tree for some fuel for the trip ahead of us.
The day began with Ellie and Bekah coming into our room and 'waking' us up with 'boo' followed by lots of hugs and kisses.
Now I needed one more hug from each of them before we set off.
On our way back to the car for the 3 hour journey home.
As if I hadn't been spoiled enough, a coworker took me out to lunch again the next day. I am so thankful for our friends and family!!
