My Birthday

Saturday was my birthday and it was a great day. I got to spend it with two of my favorite people...my wonderful husband and my beautiful daughter! We went to see "Tangled" (Loved it!), went out to eat and saw the "Festival of Lights" in Spanish Fork. One of the best parts of the day was went Ross took care of Leah so I could have a baby-free nap! I also got lots of phone calls, texts, emails, cards and Facebook posts all wishing me a happy birthday. Thanks everyone!Isn't she so cute!

Here I am with a couple of my gifts...
