Happy Halloween and birthday thanks!

[madeleone]

Happy Halloween today and thanks to everyone who sent birthday wishes, v-gifts, and gorgeous art (mywitch) yesterday.

I had a lovely quiet day at home reading, knitting, and just hanging out. I heard from all four of my kids (even my oldest son who is notorious for remembering my b'day usually three days later.) He and his kids left a birthday serenade on my voicemail.

I made a pot of Chicken Gnocchi soup for dinner. (It was delicious. The recipe claims that it's even better than Olive Garden's. I've honestly never had theirs, but it has become one of my favorite soups). Younger son T came out to hunt after school (he's a teacher) and stayed for dinner, so that was nice.

I got a amazon gift card from my baby J and her family, along with a video card that was adorable of her three and five-year-old singing Happy B'day to me, and also had nice long call with them. And I had Skyped earlier with older daughter K and grandkids and opened their gift that arrived in the mail (picture below). I was quite excited about this as I have quite a collection of HP funco dolls, but I'll have to wait until Dec.1st to play with it as it's an Advent calender. Perhaps I'll post a pic each day when I open them ala Gingerbred, as she did last year with her lego calender. So all in all I had a very nice birthday.

Sounds like a great day. You should definitely post pics as you go.

It was a very pleasant birthday. My intentions are to try to post each day's surprise, but often what I intend to do and what actually happens are two different things. I will try to follow through though. ;-)

I’d be the same as far as intentions vs reality, so my expectations for you are really low. You could just take a collective pic at the end and I’d call it a win.

Happy belated birthday wishes 😊 💐🎂🎈 That advent calendar is cool, I had a similar one last year and really enjoyed it.

Happy Belated Birthday!! I'm late and have absolutely no excuse. I do have a bit of amazement in my heart, because my daughter, Tifany, was born on Halloween, too!

[madeleone]

Thanks! And happy Birthday to you daughter. My birthday is actually the day before Halloween, or Halloween Eve as I like to call it. :)
