A great birthday

Well, I had another birthday and it was one of the best ones yet. I had my three favorite people to celebrate it with and they made it a memorable one. For those of you who don't know how old I am I won't say, because, to some I may seem old and to others I will still seem young and in reality, it doesn't really matter.
On Saturday night Scott and I left the kids with a babysitter and went downtown to the ice skating rink. I love ice skating and although we avoided any falls, our skills couldn't compare to the professional skaters they had do a short show for us.

The next morning, Scott made me breakfast in bed and dinner that evening. I had my personal cake decorator design a cake for me. (Excuse the mess on the table)
I also received two great presents. The first was a present from David, the freedom from buying diapers for him again! The second was a gift from Scott that I've been dreaming about ever since we were married, (A few years ago I made a deal with myself that every time I made home made bread I'd put $2 in a jar to save for this, well, I didn't stop making bread but my jar still doesn't have more than spare change in it.) This was a big surprise, a very welcomed one. I've already put it to use and it works great!

The Biggest Mountain in Illinois

We had a good snow storm this week, it was thigh deep. There is only one sledding hill around so we built our own in our back yard.
