Ruby on her actual birthday... so happy!
Ruby hugging her friend Sophia with Trevor in the background.
Cousin Jade having a blast.
How sweet, Kade and Kyla about to slide down together.
This isn't the best picture, but, Trevor has the BEST expressions ever!
Another birthday party in the books and it still seems like we are recovering. It was a beautiful day and we had so many friends and family over to celebrate. The parties are soooo much work, but I did take a moment to sit back and reflect about what is really important in life. It wasn't the stress of getting ready for the party, or the $40 spent on balloons, or the $175 we spent on the jumper... it was being able to look around and see all our friends and family relaxing, smiling, laughing(ok, minus Kim - see her blog, bless her soul, she had a rough time and we ALL can relate - the kids are all better and gearing up for the next party:)). We were surrounded by love and friendship. We were surrounded by people who cared. I am so grateful to everyone who has made my life better just becasue you care about my family and I. Ruby had a BLAST and luckily the jumper was picked up at 8:00 because I didn't want to pry her out of there. She saw it deflate and there was closure:). I think the second best part was the look on Ruby's face when we sang Happy Birthday. It was so cute. Her eyes lit up and she just looked at everyone their and smiled. Thank you to everyone who helped... especially my Mom and Dad, Grammy, and Kelly - you take a lot of the stress out of the day and I appreciate it!!!
p.s. When I weighed myself Saturday morning, I had lost 5 pounds from my "sick of being fat" post. Having said that, I am SURE I gained it back over the weekend on my chips and dip, pasta salad, mimosa, no exercise weekend - so I am not going near the scale for a few more days...
