Part II - Cyndi's B-day Party!

Hi again!

Here's hoping I won't have any more problems posting pictures! Let's try one right now! It will be a close-up of the dice Mark made for me!

Course I wanted to have a picture of myself with my sister Celia and with my Mom! Isn't my Hanzie cute?!

Mom gave me a photo album filled with pictures of me as a baby and through the years! I really liked it a lot! She also gave me a very pretty knick knack box that looked as if it was made of stone - and the lid was ornate and has a gold cross on it and the word Love off to one side. Inside the box was a check to cover what I owe the doctor that will be doing the debulking in June! Yehaw! We have soooo many medical bills - but this one needed to be taken care of asap! Thanks mom!

Got a call from my brother-in-law Tom, from Ohio! He and his family had already sent me a card in the mail, but it was so nice to hear from him on my birthday!

Mark got me a beautiful birthday card that I read out loud and almost started crying, especially when he wrote that he and Hanz love me so much! Wow, aren't I a lucky girl?! Oh! Wait till you see the cake Mark baked for me! I had seen this pan and really liked it and talked Mark into getting it! This was the first time he used it! It was sooo good too! Mark made some buttercream frosting and then added the candy sprinkles on top! Cute, huh? Also I'm sure by now you've noticed the tiarra I'm wearing in some of the photos - that was Celia's idea!

Greg helped scoop out some ice cream to go with the cake! Celia and Greg opened up a nice bottle of wine, so we had that and played some farkle! Of course I used my new dice that Mark made for me!

Here is a cute photo of my Mark and Hanz! Then we finally called it a day and loaded up the car with balloons, flowers and gifts! Everything was absolutely perfect! I had the most wonderful time, feeling very blessed and loved! I know there are more pictures out there, so be looking out for those! Take care!

Love to all!
