A BURNING RING OF FIRE
We celebrated my birthday yesterday. And the night before. Tuesday night, Ryan took me out to eat at our traditional birthday diner, Red Robin. Then we tried out a new movie theater and saw Prince Caspian. I loved it! I have loved the Chronicles of Narnia since I was little.
Last night, the boys sang a lovely rendition of Happy Birthday to Mommy. It was so cute! They can carry a tune pretty well, and their tiny voices were adorable! Then they helped me blow out my candles. They had wrapped some presents and chose a very funny card. Zach chose to give me a set of purple bangle bracelets, and Jared chose a brown bead necklace. I'll be stylin' this week at church!
We had a yummy chocolate cake with yummy ice cream (I splurged and bought the name-brand stuff) and lots of hugs. What a nice day!
The cake was store-bought, for perhaps the first time in my life. But it looked soooo yummy! And it is. It's a ring-cake, or bundt, or whatever it's called. Hence the Burning Ring of Fire reference. After I'd cut us each a piece, about two-thirds was left. Zach exclaimed, "Happy Birthday Rainbow!" He's so dang cute!
Mmmm...I think I want another piece...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSIE!! :) I understand about the ring of fire comment. I purposefully forgot candles when we had my party. I think they were able to find 3 in the cupboard. He he he. I hope you had a ton of fun. It sounds like you did.
