A Quarter Century!

 

On November 6th I tured 25! I know, it's really not too old, but it seems a whole lot older when you say "25" instead of "24". On my birthday day I worked, of course, and was absolutely spoiled at work. 2 different teachers brought me Starbucks in the morning with treats...so I saved one drink and treat for the next morning, one of the secretaries brought me balloons and towards the end of the day the whole office staff sang "Happy Birthday" to me and we enjoyed a delicious OREO CAKE and they gave me a gift card to the Cheesecake Factory! And that's not all...during the last period of the day one of the PE teachers brought her WHOLE class in my office (30 students squeezed in) and they all sang me "Happy Birthday"! It was so cute and I'm sure my face was bright red, because I'm not one to like all the attention on me. I am so grateful for all my friends at work! Thanks so much everyone!
Then, I went home and Chad and Cooper sang Happy Birthday to me and I opened up a new camera from them! I had been wanting one for awhile and was so excited...the camera has so many cool things on it! Still trying to figure it all out. Then, Chad, Coop, Mark (my father-in-law) and I went out to dinner! It was a great birthday day! Thanks, family!
On Sunday, a few days after my birthday, we met my parents in Pleasanton at a park (a perfect halfway point between here and Stockton). The park was SOO CUTE, I'm sure we will go back. They got me some great gifts - one being the cute shirt I am holding above. We played for awhile and then went to dinner at a Mexican Restaurant...and boy was it delish! Thanks, Mom and Dad!

Here are some pics of Cooper enjoying his playtime at the park.
 

 

He thought it was so funny to give "kissies" through the holes.

What a fun birthday. Love how everyone at your school celebrated with you! How cute. Fun pictures with your parents too. I love the one of Cooper playing in the leaves!
p.s. I seriously felt old turning 25 too, and to think I'll be 26 in a couple months! AHH! now 25 doesn't sound so bad!!
