Happy Leap Year Birthday!

This year I was able to celebrate a REAL birthday, as this is a Leap Year! I had a wonderful birthday and was spoiled by family and friends. It is amazing all the people that remember my birthday because of the Leap Year.

Denny and Lucy surprised me with beautiful flowers and a balloon at school.

The tulips were just gorgeous and lived over 2 weeks!

An even bigger surprise arrived around 10:30 when Megan brought Lucy to school with a pot of flowers for my desk! Lucy LOVES all the attention from my students and it was really nice to get to see her during the work day.

My teacher friends at school also surprised me with a lunch. They made lunch and bought a famous Granville "Dream Cake!" It was HUGE and the best part includes the white chocolate frosting and fresh raspberry layer inside!

At the end of the day there was a knock at my classroom door. It was a group of my past students and their parents! What a nice surprise! They brought cupcakes for my whole class to enjoy.

(Teddy, Mackenzie, Me, Madison, and Gracie) And yes, they are all taller than me.

The fun wasn't over yet...when I got home Denny and Lucy surprised me with another gift...

...All Clad cookware!!!!

Lucy thought this called for a little "cooking." So she decided to put her food and her "All Clad" cookware in my pot and "cook!"

What a special day I had! Thank you to all my friends and family that made it just perfect. It will be another 4 years before I celebrate the REAL one again. (And think....I will have a 6 and 4 year old then...WOW!)

Happy 7th Birthday to me!
