Annika's 32nd Birthday

Aaron took me out on a surprise date for my birthday. We went up to the Red Butte Gardens and hiked for a couple of hours. It was so beautiful to see all of the plants coming back to life again in the spring time.

Here are the pictures from the party at my parent's house.





Today is my birthday. I spent a quiet day at home with my girls. Aaron had to leave this morning for a business trip, so we celebrated my birthday on Friday (I'll post pictures later. They are on my mom's camera.) I decorated a few cupcakes for the girls and I for dessert tonight. Emmy took these great pictures of me at our little party. I had a few friends stop by this evening with presents and treats. I feel so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends.



My most precious gift of all!

Here is a sweet video of the girls singing Happy Birthday to me tonight. My favorite part is the end when little Eve steals a jelly bean off of Emmy's cupcake. She is so quick. She can have her hands on a treat or toy before you even realize she's there. The girls have not figured out how to guard their special stuff from Eve's quick hands. It makes me laugh.



My dear friend and awesome running buddy Angie surprised me with flowers. I just can't stop smiling. They are so beautiful, and they were just the perfect thing to brighten my day since Aaron had to leave on my birthday. She is so thoughtful; I'm lucky to call her my friend.
