Happy Happy Birthday to Mommy!  You won't see a picture of her because she is usually on the other side of the camera.  But she is happy to report that she got a brand new camera for her birthday so maybe sometime in the future she'll post a photo of her (yeah right)!  Until then she will take more pictures of me!

Mommy's day started with cards from Daddy and I waiting in her car.  Then on to work where Wade and Paul presented her with a card and a beautiful purple orchid.  She got lots of well wishes from people at work and even a few offers of a nice birthday lunch but she was a little too busy and will take them up on it next week instead. 

After work was over she came to pick me up and I helped her open up a bunch of fun gifts with an Easter theme. (So now Mommy has figured out how to get me to open my own presents - let me see them ahead of time and then wrap them up)!  Then Grandma and Papa Smith gave her a gift certificate to The Firehouse to get her car washed.  Now that Mommy's car has gone through 3+ years with me it is in dire need of a good detail.  Daddy got home later and all three of us headed out to dinner together.  Mid-week it was nice and quiet and I had a good time sampling sugar, salt, pepper and the butter on the table.  Daddy let Mommy open up her new camera which she is excited to use - but unprepared to read all the instructions.  Luckily, Daddy reads up on these things and tells her what she needs to know.

Happy 36th birthday Mommy!
