The BEST kids in the entire universe

So, today was my birthday. I'm 29 for the 5th time (for those of you who are like me and too tired to do the math it is 34).

It was a rare day without any daycare kids, so Troy, Annie and Taylor insisted I sleep in. They woke me up at 8 with a tray of breakfast. They actually made me muffins, juice, oranges, sausage and toast. They sang to me and gave me some cute birthday cards and a coupon for 45 minutes of alone time. No interruptions, no issues, nothin'. They also gave me a bracelet that Troy and Taylor made and a necklace that Annie made. I'm so lucky because the beads on these pieces of jewelry match everything in my closet! Talk about multi-function! While we were eating breakfast, they put on one of my favorite CD's to listen to....there is nothing like having a breakfast you didn't have to cook while listening to Blake Shelton. :)

We spent the morning playing and we went to lunch. After we got home, they insisted that I take a nap. It didn't take much arm twisting before Tyson and I headed upstairs for a wonderful 2 hour nap.

While I was sleeping, they made me a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and butterflies made out of sprinkels. It was so cute and soooooooooooo delicious.

I feel so completely blessed to have such wonderful children. I know how much they love me and watching them feel the joy of serving others makes me feel like Kevin and I are doing a pretty good job.
