BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION The Big 4-0

I saw that on insta and thought it was too funny NOT to re-post!!! And add to my blog! In fact I Told my kids we should live every day like it's my birthday!!! Flowers, Treats, fun activities, visiting with friends and fam!! 

 

I came home from work the day before my birthday and my kids had a lil celebration set up for me...

(the next day MY ACTUAL Birthday was my sisters surprise house warming party)

I only get fragrance from VS

The MOST gorgeous bouquet I've seen!!!

My kids are pretty amazing (I KNOW every parent says that BUT it's true!! They got me the most thoughtful gifts, the funniest cards AND planned a surprise party for me (it wasn't a surprise housewarming party for my sister, it was a birthday party for me...the whole fam was in on it and my sister did the MOST AMAZING decorations - like seriously, she should be a party planner.  My mom did the three tier cake with fondant border and my parents provided the gorgeous floral back drop AKA their yard for the party. Everyone put in a lot of time, effort and dealt with my sadness about NOT having a party!!! THANK YOU doesn't even begin to cover it!!). 

My sister went to my Pinterest Board for inspiration and look how AWESOME she did!!!

I felt pretty special!!! When asked how I'm coping with 40, I'm good with it!! I don't feel 40 and I have a LOT of living left to do!! I think 40 is the new 30 (and I SWEAR I'm not saying that just because I'm part of the 40 Club!!).
