I had a great birthday celebration.  Aaron took me to our favorite sushi place:  TOMO where we ate too much and enjoyed great conversation with no kids interrupting our every word!!!  🙂

Then Aaron took me to Clive in Austin where my friends were waiting to celebrate with me.  I didn't know they were going to be there so that was lots of fun.  We are beyond blessed with the BEST friends in the world in our lives and they make each year that I'm here on this earth better than the last.  Gosh we love our friends!

Aaron and his boys!
