best birthday

I had to work yesterday. Which happened to be my birthday. I only work 2 days a week so I didn't want to take the day off. I figured I could suck it up and spend the day with my sweet kiddos.

I walk into my classroom to see this...

Um...way to make a girl feel special.

The day only gets better. The class showered me with cards and homemade gifts. 

My sweet husband brought me a coffee, who might I add made me a personalized music card, and a delicious breakfast.

The class had library so as I was going to pick them up, I saw my  first graders each holding one rose. Behind them was my team teacher. She had this all planned for weeks. I had NO idea. For first graders not to say anything is pretty impressive! I feel so blessed to work with such a wonderful person. The funny thing is, I was very nervous to go part time with someone I didn't know. Throughout this school year we have become very good friends. Crazy how some things work out. 

Later that evening we did a very yummy dinner and cake from my new favorite place.

We had mini bunt cakes, I think they were called bundtinis. Super cute and super yummy. 

I consumed a ton of sugar. It was birthday I figured it was okay.

(my 4:30 a.m. run was very tough this morning!)

It was a great way to celebrate. 

But do you want to know what is better then all of this? 

You do?

Um....Disneyland in 7 days!!!!!!!
