A Firecracker Of A Birthday!


I don't exactly anticipate my birthday these days like I did when I was a kid. But, when it rolls around, I always cherish the gifts that make it special.

Grandma Joyce
Grandpa Chuck
Cousin Luke
Aunt Jeannette (sister), Uncle Steve and Steve's dad
Aunt Jeannette, Uncle Steve, cousin Samuel, and cousin Lucy
Aunt Maureen (sister) and cousin Ryan

I wish I had a snapshot of everyone of my family members. Thirty-seven make up the sum of my husband and children, parents, and sisters with their husbands and children.


Family is a gift.

And it definitely makes for a firecracker of a birthday every year! 


{Will you take a moment and give thanks for your family right now, where ever they may be?}

  6. Honey, your kiddos are so stinking cute, I want to pinch them all. And I covet Drew's hair! I wish that I had hair that thick and wavy! Are any of them, by chance, up for adoption?! I'd gladly take one of your kids for you...or all four of them! So cute! Happy belated birthday.
