For my birthday this year, Adam was sweet enough to buy me a plane ticket to visit one of my very best friends, Shelly. We had a blast shopping, eating, laughing and what girls do best: talking. It was one of the best birthday presents. It was great to get away by myself while Clara was taken care of by my parents (for the first time overnight) and by Adam who managed to get off of work a bit.
When I got home, they surprised me with the most beautiful and delicious chocolate cake. Clara was especially proud of the icing and rainbow sprinkles. Clara also put the candles in (all eight of them - apparently she was figuring that each candle represented four years :)
I am one lucky lady with a very wonderful family!
