Birthdays can be happy ... even from afar

Yesterday was my birthday ... it had been 25 years since I've celebrated that day without Kristin close by. Honestly, I wasn't looking forward to it because I thought it would be terrible without the Arney's here. But ... Kristin made it so special all the way from Texas and Kevin & Ashley made it special right here from Minnesota!


Kristin sent a package and it arrived before the special day. She taught the little girls to sing Happy Birthday, Nana and they must have practiced so much because when we connected via Skype, Lili sang every single word and Reegan sang too! It was amazing!! What a special gift! When I talked with them today, they started singing it until Kristin said my birthday was yesterday so then they stopped. What's up with that?? If they want to sing ... let them sing, I say!! :-)



Ashley was home from work in the early afternoon and styled my hair so I didn't have to fuss with it. She also accompanied me and we both received a manicure and pedicure! 


The three of us went out for dinner to my "special place". We really missed having the Arney's with us for dinner ... very strange but LOTS cheaper!! We came home and enjoyed another round of Happy Birthday Nana via Skype.


Lesson learned!
