Today was my 29th birthday.
And tonight as I blew out my candles, surrounded by my loved ones, most importantly my three children & adoring husband, I didn't make a wish. Instead I thought, with a tear in my eye, "This is perfect."
No need for wishes when life is this sweet.
And the simple joy of family is so abundant.
We feasted on chicken & dumplings followed by homemade apple cake with caramel frosting served alongside Ice Cream Renaissance Honey Vanilla- my favorite!
We laughed with babies...
We laughed at cameras...
and we laughed with each other.
We did what we do for birthdays- cake, candles, singing...
And lots of love for the birthday girl!
What was going to be my first birthday without Josh since I turned seventeen wasn't empty like I thought it would be.
Instead it was perfect.
