It's My Turn

I reached quite a milestone birthday today, it's the Big 5-0. My husband's family has quite a fun and unique way of marking the event. I think I'm the fourth person to get this mug passed on to them on their 50th birthday. It won't be staying with me long, as my brother-in-law's milestone birthday is coming up this March. Watch out Mike, it's coming your way!

My little granddaughter Kaylen had a "sleepover" last night, so I started my big day off right, waking up nose to nose with a smiling toddler.

She and Grandpa baked and decorated a lovely cake for my birthday. Can a day get any better than this?

Hmmm, Maybe it will mysteriously break before it gets to me!!

Not a chance Anne. It is responsibility of those of us in the "over 50" crowd to keep the mug in good shape so that it can be passed down (as quickly as possible) to the next victim, er, I mean recipient. If you somehow lose or break the mug while it is in Mike's possession he'll have to find an even uglier one to replace it before it's due to be passed on down the line.

Happy 50th! from someone else who reached the milestone in 2009. Well you look simple marvelous and spending time with toddlers will definitely keep you young.
Very best wishes!
