I could have kicked myself repeatedly for forgetting my camera, yet again, to an event!
1) Our etiquette dinner went so-o well. There were some accidents (a couple of the kids fumbled and dropped a piece of silverware. Oh well!) but aside from accidents they all did SUPER! As we were being seated the hosted (whom we later found out was the manager) said "You all look so nice! What's the occasion?" we told her and "How nice." was her reply. As Ben was paying, our waiter came and gave us a envelope. It contained a $20 gift card! The note said "To: the most courteous family! From: the Bugatti's staff." I almost cried. Really.
2) Ben made breakfast yesterday and I opened my b-d cards. My dear friend gave me a night away at a vineyard with her at a B & B....omigosh. I was stunned. Then Sis (Esther-9) gave me her present. She gave me $6, all the money she had, to buy lotion for the trip. ALL SHE HAD. I was blubbering like a wee baby. Then she started to get teary and Ben started crying too (although you didn't hear that from me!). I heard God's small voice in my heart say "When was the last time you gave everything you had?" Owie.
3) My Dad & Mom came over for a b-b-q dinner with us. I must say, we cooked a delicious meal! Veggie kabobs and chicken....yum! My mom had gathered all (I'm not exaggerating here) my school papers and crafts and put them into a book and let's just say I was an odd child. (My Mom even saved some of my baby teeth and gave them to me.....um.....sorry Mom. That's gross!).
And not a singe photo of any of it! Just my way of starting off a new decade with a bang!
Thank you all for the texts, e-mails, cards and phone calls! I am blessed by you all!
One more thing....my awesome Husband has been quite busy on his blog. You should visit!

Hi, We had so much fun last night! What a treat to spend such quality time with some of our favorite people, big and small! I did get some pix, so we can get them to you. Someday I'll know how to download them! I think I need a new computer. We can do it on Dad's computer tho! Love you and thanks again for being the best! Mom : )
