Keys to a perfect birthday...

To name just a few...
A perfect day spent enjoying the fall and the beautiful leaves (pictures prove that).
Alan coming home early from a long week vacation and being home on birthday!!
Breakfast in bed.
Homemade cards.
An entire day spent relaxing, in my p.j's, napping, watching conference. No deadlines.
A clean house (never mind that I cleaned it).
Laundry done (never mind I did that too).
A birthday dinner with my family.
Presents
Money
Hugs and kisses from my kids!
A trip the vacuum store new oreck!
Another birthday dinner tonight (so I got out of making dinner again).
Birthday wishes with cards, facebook (love that place), phone calls even a few on my blog (how they knew who knows) etc...
Alan coming home a day early ending the longest week of my life and turning my birthday into a stress free relaxing day (I did say that twice on purpose)!

Here are some pictures from our day enjoying the fall colors (only the twins were not in school and Alan was out of town)...

These picturs turned out so great. We do live in a beautiful place. Silver lake is my favorite place to go walking. I am glad you had a great birthday. I am sad to miss the fall colors this year. Oh well there is always next year.
