It's been one of the best ever

Catherine was already home when I got home from work today.  Andrew and Thomas arrived before too much longer.  We ordered dinner in, and I opened cards and presents.  Thomas doesn't have school tomorrow, so he and Catherine have been hanging out in the front room.  I can't even put into words how much I have enjoyed hearing their chatter and laughter all evening.  It's been delightful.  It was also very sweet how excited Catherine was to give me the gifts she picked out herself, as well as an amazingly heartfelt card.  We had some cupcakes and played two rounds of wii bowling.  I've received lots of texts, emails, and cards.  This birthday is definitely going down as one of my favorites!  I'm more blessed than I can put into words!
