25 + 1 = ...

26 years old. :P It was a good one, despite the make-shift candles! More details to come later... I'm tired!

**Update**
Now that I'm rested... Steve bought me an early gift that I got last week at a family dinner. My new camera body, yay!! Then he let me pick a new lens out and my nice UPS man brought that to me bright and early on the morning of my birthday. :) What a perfect day!

(By the way, the UPS man knows me by my first name... but that's another post altogether! haha)

Steve comes home with some gorgeous flowers and a candle to get me in the Christmas mood! You know, it is right around the corner now. ;) He got a babysitter and we went out for an early dinner. We stopped at Nordstrom first and I spent some money I had there on some new shoes (Thanks to Destiny!)... then we went to Outback for dinner. Yum. We browsed some other stores nearby before heading home just in time to put the kiddos to bed after some birthday song singing and candle blowing. :)

It was a nice birthday, although, like I told my dad that day on the phone... this is the year I'd like them to stop. I'm officially closer to 30 than I am to 20. So, from now on, please remember that I am 26 years old and holding. :)
