Magical Birthdays

I may or may not had mentioned to my husband that my birthday, which was December 12th, needed to be magical.  It was a once in a lifetime kind of birthday, after all, 12-12-12.  I was partially joking AND I originally had no intention of doing a 'birthday' post BUT...

Magically {and blog worthy} is exactly what he delivered.

Throughout the day, I stumbled upon groupings, hidden around our house, that contained 12 items and a funny note.

12 gold coins.


12 Barbies.


12 pink paper clips.


12 pink lizards.


12 rubber ducks.


12 erasers.


12 ninjas.


And 12 tiaras with a note that read:  Your Prince shall come (at 12:12 today) to take you to the ball.


My prince did arrive at 12:12 to take me to the ball...aka Grace's winter ballet recital.


And, in every sense of the word, my birthday truly did feel magical.


And, this man, I am certain is happy that once in a lifetime birthdays truly do only come once in a lifetime. 


Though, 12-12-13 sounds kind of magical too.  Don't you agree?

  3. How special and totally random finds! Very creative. My sister is a 9/9/91 baby, which means she had a 9/9/99 (however, she turned 8, not 9). I have no idea what we did for her, but I hope she felt special!

  23. I have tears in my eyes Amy....what a prince you have, to go through all that to make your day special. He sounds like a truly remarkable man. You are blessed my friend....but then again, HE is certainly blessed as well, because you're absolutely wonderful yourself! Hope your birthday was happy!
