The "Blizzard of the Year" (which amounted to flurries just a few miles from here) had schools closed a day in advance all over the mid-state. We had about five inches in the morning that mostly melted by afternoon but the kids got to play a bit. We built a huge snow man (that fell over in an hour or so), had a snowball fight, and pulled each other around the yard in the sled.
It was a good start to a great birthday.
Jason made me a wonderful dinner and we had our parents and grandmother over to help us celebrate. The table was beautiful, I should taken a picture, and the dinner Jason made was amazing. Beth made me a carrot cake as well as a chocolate cake with peanut butter icing for everyone else!
It was my first birthday without my Dad, and that was really hard to stomach. The joy of having everyone together got strangled on occasion by the weight of his missing presence. Despite his absence, the house was full of love; I am blessed. Thank you to all my friends and family for the birthday wishes. Here's to another year.
