Yesterday I turned 27. I am now in my "late twenties." And that is depressing. Despite the onset of aches and pains I felt thanks to my old age, I had a great day.
Dan and Sam went out early to get donuts and flowers. My favorite at the local spud shop is white frosting with colored sprinkles. And the flowers are pretty Easter lilies. Just so you can picture the majesty in your head since I don't have pictures.
In the morning I finished up a shirt for Afton (Thanks, Amanda, for sharing that tutorial.) while Dan worked outside. Later I got to go out shopping ALONE for a few hours. I got three shirts and some shorts.
In the evening we had Kirk and Gretchen and Jeff and Dionne over for calzones and cake. Dan made me an amazing cake. His goal was to embarass me, but it didn't work. I loved it! He's better at cake decorating than I am, and he only does it once a year.
And I like these pictures because of Afton. Don't worry. I didn't drop her. Even though she looks like she thinks I'm about to.
I got majorly spoiled. A new small camera to keep in my purse for everyday outings, a book of poetry, a remote, bag, and UV filter for my SLR, a CD from Kirk, a movie gift card and skittles. I really had a great day! It's too bad my birthday can't be on a Saturday every year.
On to Easter! This morning Sam found the fifteen eggs that the Easter bunny left for him.
Do you think his PJs are a little small?
I fed Afton her bottle of formula during Sacrament meeting and when I lifted her up to burp her, she let out a huge gaseous belch and drenched the face of the missionary behind us in its vapors. It was funny. Here are the kids in their Easter outfits. That's the best face I could get out of Sam. He calls it his "funny smile."
I am really grateful for Easter. It helped that I teach Primary so that I could really focus on Christ's resurrection today. One of my favorite talks on the resurrection is called "Sunday Will Come" by Elder Wirthlin. You can listen to it
here.
Hope you all had a great weekend, too!

That top for Afton is really cute, good job. The cake is sweet. Did you use your fancy new remote to take the family shot? I always wondered what else they would be for?
Glad you had some shopping success! Awesome shirt, jammies, cake, facial expression...
Happy Bithday! I'm glad you had such a great birthday. Shopping alone sounds wonderful to me! That shirt you made Afton is so cute. I would have never guessed that you actually made it b/c it doesn't have that homemade clothes look to it (that's a compliment!)
Happy Birthday on Saturday! Shopping alone is the perfect gift. And Afton's shirt is adorable. Someday I plan to sew again. until that day I will just be inspired by you.
What a cute family. Dan has a real creative side that shows with a flourish when baking!
That cake is awesome!!! HA! I love it. Glad you had a great birthday!!
Um, your shirt is so much cuter than the ones I made! Good work. And happy belated birthday indeed. Let me know how that remote works out... could be a good gift to request for a future birthday.
