I had a birthday on Thursday! Starting a new decade, I am. 60 years of age. Thursday was a normal day for me....Except...I warned my family that I wasn't going to cook a meal that day...there needs to be a limit, haha! So many of our kids were working, so just the family who lives with us (minus Gina who was working) ate at Lititz Family Cupboard. We ordered the buffet, yum! Was so good!
It was a good day in spite of the weather...COLD and windy. It didn't get out of the 20's. Brrr.
That's how cold it was!
I was blessed with thoughtful gifts -
Flowers from Hubby
(I just threw out the Valentine's flowers a few days before...
they lasted that long...most of them!)
Roses from Gina
How cute is this?!!
From Greta and Lynn
Greta said when she saw it, she knew she had to get for me =)
Describes us perfectly!
Aidan made me a bracelet...
Love it!
Saturday I did some cleaning, took Zoe to a birthday party of a friend and then went shopping with Gina and Ellen.
Sunday was church, then a family dinner at Outback. It suited everyone but Kim's hubby Manny and son Andrew (they were working), and Laurencia and her family who live in Baltimore. We had such a good time! The little ones did awesome and our server did a wonderful job taking care of us.....all 15 of us!

After lunch, some of the family gathered here.
I read books to the kids -
I didn't know Marcy took this till I saw it posted on Facebook.
I was reading a favorite book called
WHAT? said Granny!
We love that silly book.
Aidan had some reading to do for school.
He read to Andrew and Paityn ♥
It was such a good day. I love my family SO much!
This is what we woke to this morning -
White.
A 2 hour delay for the schools.
On a Monday morning, that suits us!
Will this be the last time for snow this year??
We have another date for settlement for the house....March 28. Yeah! Can't wait.
Enjoy your Monday....Spring will soon be here! Yes it will.

Doris, Happy Birthday. What a nice post. Love all the photos of the kiddos especially the one of you reading to them. Just precious. The roses, oh, my are beautiful!
