Happy Birthday to me

... :)
I started the morning late... ate cake.
My goal today was to do something to make each of my loved ones happy... I took the kids to the store to choose a pet fish, got a stainless steel waterbottle so Ashis can drink healthier water throughout the day when he is stuck in his cabin at work and chatted with mom and dad.
Ashis cooked me a special lunch. I got a new scanner. Then when the kids napped we watched a fun movie together.
But, I still had some special friends for whom I have some eye candy :)









Enjoy your long weekend and hope you find some creative time :)
