Happy Birthday Heather!

On the 16th, the most important member of our family celebrated her birthday. It was a school day so it got off to a chaotic start, especially with the kids getting ready by themselves and me packing lunches. Instead of waiting until after school to blow out the candles, we breakfasted on an amazing cheesecake that Ella made for Heather.

Then it came time to open gifts. I thought that I had the ultimate surprise this year, but Heather actually figured it out the night before. This year... for her 39th birthday... she got...

 

her first cell phone :)

As amazing as that seems, what is even more amazing is the fact that she would have been perfectly fine to continue without owning a phone. That is just a small example of Heather's selflessness, and her thrift, and her willingness to not just follow the crowd. Everything she does is for our family. Not only is she the best mom in the world, she is The Perfect Wife, and is my best friend.

Thank you for the wonderful year!
