Valentine's Day 2018

Most of the time, it isn't lucky to have a birthday so close to Valentine's Day. Not this year! I got FLOWER OVERLOAD!! Here is the bouquet when I first received it....

Here it is a couple of days later....

then a couple of days after that (along with all of my birthday flowers)

 Of course Valentine's wouldn't be complete without chocolates! (I might still have some left.....)

My new wedding ring was part of this gift too. I definitely got spoiled. I gave Terry some chocolates too! 

Topher's Sweet 16!

Happy Birthday, Topher! Sweet 16. MY BABY IS 16! The one I gave birth to IN THIS HOUSE..... Here is his birthday cake, we got him red velvet, his favorite.
