Birthday sunshine!

Today is my birthday...da da da da da da da dum...it's my birthday too yeah!
This weekend we traveled to Sheboygan, WI, to spend my birthday weekend with my mom and dad.  The weather was really yucky, but we had a great time together anyway.  Here are some pics of the weekend:

 

We had breakfast at Whispering Orchards, a family favorite!  It's an orchard/hobby farm that also has a restaurant with all fresh-from-the-farm meals.  Delish!

Mall bound! Saturday's rain and high winds brought us to the Fox River Mall in Appleton.  This was my favorite place to do school shopping growing up...probably because it had more than a Kohl's and Penny's as were the options near our house.

Since it was birthday weekend and all, I got to pick our dinner option.  We went to El Camino's in Sheboygan.  I mean, can you really argue with chips before, during, and after the meal? The answer is no, no, you cannot.

Padre and madre with sizzling hot fajita fixin's. Mmmmm.

A stretch break for Snuffy and I in LaCrosse on our way home today.
What a beautiful day it turned out to be!  Not a cloud in the sky.  I feel as though the Lord gave me the sun for my birthday...it is the day the Lord has made.  I rejoice and am glad! Thank you Lord for the gift of life another year on Your beautiful earth.  Thank you for the opportunity to learn more of You and grow closer to You in this coming year!
