These are a few of my favorite things

We have three birthdays in July. Two have already passed and we have one more to go. There are a few criterias that make a birthday celebration (in my eyes anyway).

Funny Birthday Card from Mom Mom and floral bouquet from hubby

Homemade Birthday card from Son :-)

Indian buffet (take out)

Birthday cake from favorite Bake Shop

Sebastian painstakingly applying birthday candles (tongue sticking out highly recommended)

Now we know why you like this Bake shop so much Mommy!!

The inside of Sebastian's card....

Click on the picture to enlarge the handwriting. In case you are unable to enlarge, the text reads, "Happy Birthday Mommy. You know I love you in all but I still Love you. Love, Sebastian"

I had to laugh when I read the words because there's a story behind it. When ever Sebastian gets "in trouble", he gets upset when we discipline him. After we dish out the punishment, he says we're the meanest parents. I tell him I still love him even though I got angry with him and I ask him if he still loves me. His response is usually "no". But deep inside, this card says it all!
