I have had a really nice birthday. Even if I WAS sad about my age - I got SOOOOOO many e-mails, texts, facebook comments, tweets and blog comments that have just made my day! I am so blessed to know so many sweet and encouraging people! And I thought it was funny how many of you left me comments to tell me you shared my birthday! Happy Birthday to you all! I have never known anyone with my birthday except for Diane Sawyer (and I am mourning her loss on GMA big time). (and yes - a Christmas birthday is as awful as you imagine but my family always tried to make it special and as an adult - I think it's fun to have your birthday during such a fun week!)
I had lunch at Gusano's - a local pizza place I love with a new friend Kristen and her little boy Trevor. I had such a nice time with them - they are so sweet!
This afternoon I headed over to Laurie's to exchange gifts for Christmas. We tried so hard to get a good picture of the girls but it was pretty much impossible (on a side note - I used my tiny little camera in all of today's pictures so the quality is pretty poor. I've been spoiled with our nice camera).
Scott took me and Harper out for dinner. I really wanted Mexican so we went to Abuelo's. Harper was SO good. She just LOVES going out to eat. She is SO much like her momma! ha! She also really likes cheese. In the last 2 days - she has had cheese pizza, grilled cheese and tonight cheese quesadillas. And you wouldn't believe how fast and how much she has eaten of all of those. (She has also had a lot of fruits and veggies so I'm not just giving her cheese. ha!)
As we were leaving - a sweet couple stopped me and the girl, Courtney, told me she read my blog. ha! She knew it was my birthday and that I loved eating at Abuelo's. ha! It was fun to meet her! Thanks for saying hi Courtney!!!
We went and got hot chocolate at Starbucks and drove around and looked at Christmas lights. Harper fell asleep pretty quick so we cut our trip short and came home and put her to bed.

Happy Birthday Kelly!!!!! Glad to hear you had such a great day. :)
Kelly you look so pretty in those pictures. You truly look like you have had a VERY happy day. Harper just takes after her momma. She looks like she's happy and having fun. Hey I wanted to ask you what kind of camera your big one is? You told us one time, but I can't seem to find that post. Which one is your favorite lens? Thank you so much for all of your encouraging words and your honesty. I feel like I know you even though we've never met. Have a wonderful CHRISTmas and a great 2010. I am so happy for you and your family.

Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had a fantastic day! Today is my Maw~Maw's 90th birthday and yesterday was my twins 1st birthday. I've been meaning to post a comment on here ever since you wrote the post about Harper's party, but I was so busy last week getting ready for B&B's party that I didn't have a chance to answer your question! We had the twins party at our house and invited mainly relatives and a few close friends who have older children (3 years old) and babies under 1. I was stressing about what kind of activities/games to have for them, and I just decided to leave the playroom door open and that's it. By the time everyone had snacks, we opened gifts, and had cake, it was almost time for them to leave! I uploaded a slideshow on my blog of the party, so feel free to stop on by and take a look! I worked so hard all last week (late nights and early mornings) to make sure everything was perfect for their special day!!!

What a beautiful birthday for such a beautiful birthday girl!
Happy Birthday Kelly! I wish I had said hello and happy birthday last night at TJMaxx but I was horrified by my return drama! :)
happy birthday! I'm glad you had such a great day. Merry Christmas!
Yay for a fun day!!! Gotta ask--where did you find that kicky necklace you're wearing?!
So glad you've had such a wonderful birthday!!!
Ha! As soon as I left my comment, I thought "I think I could have used the word 'chawed' in that comment".
HAPPY B-DAY KELLY!! You look so pretty and I love your dress and necklace! Glad you had a great evening and a good dinner!
Summer :0)
yea!!! I am glad to hear that your birthday was so good...I hope you have many many more just like today...my birthday was Dec. 17 so I know how you feel having a Christmas birthday. My little boy's birthday is on Dec. 29 so we are throwing a huge party on Sunday to help him understand that his birthday is a special day
Happy Birthday Kelly!!! Glad to hear you had a great day!! it sounded perfect!
Happy Happy Birthday!! It is my husbands birthday too - I know it must be hard to have a Christmas birhtday but know it is the day the Lord declared life for you. It is not the day that makes it so special it is YOU that makes the day!!
xoxo
Happy Birthday, sounds like you had a wonderful day with friends and family.
Love Harper's red dress too!

Happy Birthday! It looks like you had a wonderful day!
I'm so glad you had a wonderful day!!!
Happy Birthday! Glad to know it was a good one!!
Glad you had such a great birthday! Love your necklace. I know you get this all the time, but where did you get it?
Happy Birthday! My birthday is the the day before Valentine's Day. Not so bad growing up but the first year my husband tried to combine gifts. I didn't really care but I picked on him for it. The years after I have had two seperate gifts. Ha!
Happy Birthday! I'm really enjoying your blog. Harper is so adorable!
Happy birthday, Kelly! We just returned home from celebrating my mom's 60th bday with dinner and a party. So, just one more person you share this day with! My mom is so hard to shop for, and it drives my sisters and I crazy each year because we have to buy her birthday and Christmas gifts for the same week and it truly is challenging.
Glad to hear you had a fun day!
Happy Birthday, Birthday Twin! I have always loved having my birthday on the 22nd, too! I think it's a fun week, people are in such jolly moods...and it's truly my FAVORITE time of the year!!! I hope you had an amazing day...and no worries Kelly...my age today was a tiny bit hard for me to swallow, too :)
Happy Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday !
So glad it was great and you've had a wonderful year.
Just imagine all the wonderful things God has in store for you in this brand new year !
Happy Birthday! Glad you had a good day.
I love Gusanos. We were just there this passed weekend.
Happy Birthday, Kelly! SO glad you had such a great day. I totally know what you mean about Christmas birthdays--my birthday is on Christmas Day! We picked up a big cheesecake assortment tonight to celebrate with on Saturday...going for the day after this year. Everything shuts down on Christmas! ;)
glad you had a great day :)
God bless you, Kelly, on your 36th birthday!!! You look wonderful!! Love the photo of you and Scott!! So glad you had a great birthday!! =))
Hugs,

Happy Birthday Kelly! I'm glad you had such a great day!
I love how you said having a Christmas birthday is awful!! My mothers birthday is December 25 and I always tell her how wonderful it is that she was born the same day as Jesus! You should be happy your birthday is so close to his HA!
Happy Birthday!!

Happy, Happy Birthday, Kelly! I am happy that you had a distinct day to celebrate separate from the festivities of Christmas week. My husband's birthday is the 28th and I've always gone out of my way to make it extra special. (P.S. I hope that you got the card I sent--I was just loved your post about the joy of getting Christmas cards and I wanted to share ours with you!)
Happy Birthday Kelly!!!! So glad you had a great day!!
P.S. - We ate dinner at the Gusano's in Fayetteville last night for dinner and it was AMAZING!! It was our first time to eat there and I was very impressed!!
Happy birthday! Wishes for a wonderful year. Forty actually sounds great to me, as sixty is looming up ahead. Treasure the moments -- what a sweet and blessed time!
Happy Birthday!
p.s. I love your necklace in your bday dinner pictures...
Kelly
Happy Birthday Kelly! You are blessing to "the Blog world".
And tell Scott that he needs to start celebrating your half birthday in June, in addition to your real birthday in December. It's only fair since it's such a busy time of year!
happy Birthday! and on an unrelated-it's-a-small-blog-world-note, your new friend Kristen and I played on the same AAU basketball team back in the day =)
Glad you had a grrrreat day!! :) I have to ask though- where did you get Harpers shopping/highchair cover & is it easy to use? My sons is a pain, because I have to tie it on...i can't do that one handed! I need a new one & that one looks super easy to use. I obviously would get a boy color thouhg- ha!
Happy Birthday Kelly!
I am glad you had a good birthday.
God Bless you today on your birthday and always!
I love your blog!
Andrea

Happy Happy Birthday! I have always( well since I started reading your blog- ha) thought you looked much younger than your age! I'm glad that I am not the only person to stop you while you are out eating at Abuelos ( I saw you there last time we were in town and stopped you and your husband too, but Harper wasn't there:( We took our girls to see lights tonight after Starbuck too, it was a good night for it down near Benton too! Hope Harper has a good first CHRISTmas! I have a fun idea for cards on my last blog post, I don't know if I remembered to comment about it on your blog or not but I meant too! Elizabeth
A sweet friend of my oldest daughter gave birth this morning to a baby girl--6 lb. 3 oz, 18 1/2 inches, Laurel Joy is her name. This is their 3rd girl, and they have 3 boys! You have another person with whom to share a birthday.
Happy, Happy birthday Kelly! I read your blog everyday, but don't always comment! I have so enjoyed getting "to know" your precious family and your beautiful little girl. I will never forget this time last year, waiting in anticipation for her birth, and then praying so hard for her healing! God Bless you all this Christmas time and my 2010 bring joy and happiness! Sending big hugs from South Africa!
I just wanted to say Happy Belated Birthday! So glad you had a great birthday!
