Prepping for a sweet party!

Yesterday the 13th was my birthday! Yay!!!

Yes, I can still say my age, I’m a little over 21. LOL!!!

It turns out that the 13th landed on a Wednesday and we have Home Group from church on Wednesdays, so I decided not to tell anyone it was my birthday and surprise them with a cake and some treats. It makes me happier to give than to receive, but don’t get me wrong, this girl loves to get presents. ;)

I didn’t want to put the group in a position where they felt they had to get me something if they knew it was my birthday, so I asked the girls and my hubby not to mention anything.

Here is my prepping photos for the special day!
