Your husband is a keeper :) I love my 5D, now that I've had it for a year I realize how much more I learned about photography.
The meatballs look delish !

Annette said...

You do realize I have cookbooks, where the meatballs don't look this good! Girlfriend!! Yummy!
Congrats on the 5D, my dream camera!

Hi Christina! Wonderful things to be thankful for! Have a lovely birthday! I will try to get back here for the celebration...I've been so caught up simply loving my new surroundings. Finally got rid of all those old Coastal Living Mags...decided I didn't need them to dream anymore...I am living my coastal dream. :-) Big hugs!

Marilyn said...

Wow! Would love a new Canon, yes I would. What a lovely, thoughtful gift. Can't wait to celebrate with you. I hope the celebrating is well underway, as it is your birthday month for sure. You must celebrate all month.

Happy early birthday to you!
I have a camera fund that I have had going for a few months now, I just checked out the Canon 5d, I hope you let us know all about it as it looks awesome.
As the mom to not only one girl, but four males, my heart it with you!

Hey birthday girl...what an awesome gift your hubby gave you!! My husband gave me my camera for my birthday four years back...it was the best gift ever...one that doesn't just get tossed in the back of the closet! lol

And being mama to the teenaged boy...? Oh girl...I FEEL you!! Lord help us, is RIGHT!

Michelle @ Give a Girl a Fig said...

ps...you don't even KNOW how much I want to eat those meatballs. They look divine...would you be willing to share the recipe? Pretty please? :)

Quiana said...

Happy early birthday! Those meatballs look divine - I would totally make a sub out of the leftovers (midnight tummy rumblings as I type!). Enjoy your new camera!

Jeanne said...

Celebrate you and surround yourself with people that do.

Much love
Jeanne♥
