Crochet Me Crazy

Yesterday was my 38th birthday.

Alison baked me a surprise birthday cake and decorated herself. She kept it a surprise by going over to my neighbors house to borrow her oven.




Apparently, the kids had sent my husband shopping for them on his way home from work on Wednesday to get the ingredients and to pick up their presents they had picked out for me.

Alison bought this Christmas cup and plate for me with her own money from the dollar store.



Michael bought me this rooster plate. Someday, I say I'm going to do my kitchen in these colors.



I like both of my presents and my cake was delicious too!

We spent the rest of the WHOLE day shopping. Mostly at the mall. We knocked out some of our Christmas shopping for the kids I prefer to get my shopping done before Thanksgiving so I don't have to fight the crowds.

We had the pleasure of babysitting for my niece on Monday this week! Alison thouroughly enjoyed herself getting to play with him. He's a easy going kid! So sweet and cute!




My good friend, Stephanie, came by Wednesday night late to deliver my birthday present and card. I was already in my night gown so that's why I look for worn out in the picture. She had bought me a very pretty pair of earrings. Stephanie is always so thoughtful and sweet!
