Surprise - It's Mommy's Birthday!

I have to admit - I did NOT want to turn 30! 30 just seems like some great milestone in life that I was not ready to pass.
Looking back, I guess my 20's were pretty busy! Crazy, busy, fun, and filled with joyous moments and blessings beyond measure! I married the man of my dreams and best friend - we have now been married almost 9 years. We brought three wild and crazy little boys into our home. Clayton - who shocked us into parenthood and brings us laughter each day. Hudson - our rambunctious toddler, who we longed for. And.....Graydon - our loveable, chunky baby who brings us smiles and a little sense of chaos! Wow - we've been busy!
So.......today, when Aunt Shannie (toting Adalyn) and Hudson showed up at school, cake in tow - I was ecstatic! And, my kindergarten kiddos were just as excited!



Hudson walked into my classroom a little shy at first, but it didn't take him long to warm up. Shannie (with Ad) had a yummy German chocolate cake in tow - made my Shannon and Mom.



To my surprise, all my school kiddos loved this cake. Hudson had two pieces of his own that he seemed to enjoy for breakfast. After Shannon led my class in "Happy Birthday to Mrs. Daniels", somehow Hudson managed to blow out my candles before I did (guess I was too slow).



Even though he is so mischievous, he is so cute! So all was forgiven!
After our short breakfast, mini-party, we headed back to learning. Shannie, Hudson, and Adalyn were able to stay through part reading instruction. Hudson sat on the carpet like a "big boy" and soaked up all the new attention!



Ad had fun being passed around, from my assistant to my student teacher!





A perfect beginning to a Happy Birthday!
