The BIG 3-O and a Freebie for YOU!

Hi Friends,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I sure did! Spent my Birthday Weekend with some great friends and had an awesome time. It was the big 3-O and I don't think I have ever felt so special! My students were soooooooo sweet!

I think they were more excited for my birthday then they usually are for their own!

Here I am with my bestie! Leslie, from First Grade Frenzy
Yes, you are seeing right! That's a frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity and we enjoyed every sip and spoonful of it! Yummmmmmmmm!

My other bestie, Val from All Students Can Shine, also came along and we all had quite a fun time!

My birthday dinner was at Tao (one of my fav restaurants) and this guy right here was my special date for the night! Hehe!

Like I said, I love the place!

I have to say that I truly do have the best family and friends, but I also have the most wonderful, caring, thoughtful, and loving students. They were so excited and made my day EXTRA special.

They showered me with love and made me smile all day long!

I love these kiddies... "You are a talented teacher" And... "Emprotate" means "Appropriate" I sometimes use the phrase "Please don't do or say that, it's inappropriate/not appropriate" I'm glad to know that I am, in fact, appropriate! HeHeHe!

My fifth grade students really surprised me (with the help of their science teacher)! This was so cool, but also slightly creepy (staring at 16 kids with my face on! Oiiiiii!)! But, wow, did I ever have a good laugh and so did the kiddies!

My colleague photocopied my face and made Ms. Nicole masks! When I walked into the room, they all put on the masks and began to sing "Happy Birthday." I have to admit it was quite the performance and something I will never forget!

Ok so, seeing as though it was my BIG 3-O and I got beyond spoiled, I thought I'd spoil all of you with a little Birthday Freebie!
