~ IT'S MY PARTY ~

Yes, it's Birthday time again so this week I took a trip down memory lane and unearthed some old photos!  Can this little girl REALLY BE ME??  Or who I was so very long ago??  I wonder what I was looking for in my cup??  Actually, I believe from the date on the photo that this was my older sister's birthday,  but the attention definitely seems to be on me!!  I can just imagine myself thinking, "It's MY party, so where is my chocolate cake, please?"

Here is another picture.....

It still looks like I did not get my cake yet!!!  My sweet husband said I was probably crying because I wanted more fabric, or wanted to go to Value Village or an antique shop!!  He knows me SO WELL!!!  In truth, I was crying because I wanted my mother, who happens to be taking the picture!!  Come to think of it, I still feel that way sometimes!!  Anyway, as the old song goes......"It's My party and I'll cry if I want to...."

This photo seems to be more like what I would picture myself looking like at my birthday party!  I'm all dressed up in my Sunday best and so excited for what is in store!  Not much different today, except I have given up posing and puffy dresses!!

This is my husband's favorite picture of me!  The sun is shining, the day is full of secret surprises and I am ready to meet them, sitting on my trusty tricycle!! 

Tomorrow I will celebrate my special day!!  After all, it only comes around once a year and what's not to love about it?  I get to be treated to special meals, and given gifts...royal treatment fit for a queen, surely!!  This time it really IS MY PARTY, and guess what??  I'm getting CHOCOLATE CAKE!!! 

Wishing you a day filled with special memories~~
