Best Anniversary Gift Ever!!


This weekend is my 11th wedding anniversary with my husband Mike.
Tonight he gave me the most thoughtful gift ever...I am speechless with joy!

Mike had a little hardcover book printed up with photos of all my beloved birds. You can see a preview of a few pages here:

Most of the photos he took himself, but a few were taken by me or by friends. I can't believe how beautiful it is! I am grinning ear to ear!
