My Birthday Party!!! Guess What I Got!!!!!

So, next Saturday is my birthday.  My sister's birthday was January 14th.  We always have a joint birthday party at my mom's house.  My mom makes our favorite foods and we have a grand ole time together and, since my sister is not into dessert that much, I usually get my favorite cake (Thanks Kel!).  So, we all went to church Sunday morning and then over to my mom's for lunch. 

We couldn't decide which of our favorite foods we wanted, but we finally settled on two of our favorites.  Our family Lasagna recipe, which is THE BEST and probably the only recipe that is a family secret, and Chicken Fettucine Alfredo.  MMMMM!  YUM!  We also had salad and veggies, but really, who cares about the green stuff, right?  Okay, maybe it's just me. 



Yes, this is my plate of food and I totally skipped the "diet" food and calorie count for my birthday party. 


Here we are blowing out the candles on my favorite chocolate cake.  YUM! 

Not only did we have our favorite foods EVER, but then we got presents too.  Wanna see what we got?



Yeah, baby, we got Cricuts!  WOO HOO!  I was so excited that I jumped up and down until my daughter informed me that I was shaking the china in the cabinet behind me.  OOPS!  Guess I better get back on that diet today. 

So, I am pretty sure that this is my favorite birthday present EVER!  Oh, the things we will make together!  Gotta go read up on my new toy.  YAY!  Thanks mom (and dad) for our party and my cool new toy! 

Y'all check back tomorrow.  I'll be sharing the Valentine craft I made this weekend.

  3. Hurray!!! Tanya, you are going to have so much fun. :) Did you get the large one?? I have the small (original) Cricut...it cuts smaller sized paper. I bet if you save up for the design studio thing you can do just as much as a Silhouette machine, except you won't have to buy any more cartridges!
