So sometimes life pulls mean tricks.First you are young. You know nothing about being older.
Then you find out about being older and no longer wish to be young. In the quest for older you don't give adequate respect and admiration for your young self.
Then when you get older you are joying in the youngness of your own young ones.
Then one day you find out that your young ones are getting older, though they think that they aren't old enough and wish to be even older, at the exact moment that you realize that you ARE older and now you wish to be young.
I was born in 1968. That makes me 40 years old. Holy Moly! I can't believe it. Hmmmph!
Well even though I am old, I have tons of people who aren't willing or ready to put me out to pasture, and who showered me with delightful gifts all week long!
Gifts from Hubby and Family on Thursday. Breakfast in Bed on Saturday. A Homemade Mexican Fiesta on Sunday. Many gifts dropped off and mailed throughout the week. A homemade raspberry creme cake on Monday. And a wonderful afternoon lunch today. Yay, me! Thank you everyone! (you know who you are) :-)
In true aurora-fashion, I don't have many pictures. But here are just a few.
Some of the Birthday Bunch at Macaroni Grille
The rest of the Birthday Bunch -- yes a grainy picture due to the fabulous fire behind us!
I look like a big magenta blob crowding out poor Kristy!
My super-spectacular Raspberry Creme cake. Hubby is amazing. I might even be eating a piece right now... you never know. ;-)
And a yummy nap like a cherry on top!...I think this 40 stuff might not be so bad after all.

Happy Birthday, aurora. I'd say you had a wonderful celebration.
(40 is GREAT ; ) Enjoy.
(And you look FABULOUS.
You're a beauty queen. You wear 40 well!
IMO 40 is young. And since you look 30, no biggie. Just celebrate that.
Hugs and happy Bday!!

hey, great pictures! That's a much better one of us this time. I hope you had fun yesterday! I thought it was great. Rebecca putting balsamic vinegar in her water was my favorite part (that, and not having to bring my baby!). You know what they say, 40 is the new 30! You're still totally young! xoxo
