Another birthday has come and gone. This year all I really wanted was a massage, after all the ones I do everyday I really just wanted some me time, So thanks to my wonderful mom and dad who bought me a amazing massage and facial. That was the best way to start a birthday!!!
My sweet sisters both got me some really cute shirts that you can just throw on and not have to worry about the gs, which is always a plus. .....even though Amber kept my first present for herself. lol :)
I'm gonna have to say that one of my favorite gifts is the one that Jessica got me. Its a plastic muffin tray that you use in the play kitchen but she told me its so I can make muffins in it. LOL I love it. Nancy has the pictures so Ill post them once I get them. Nancy got me a warming blanket which I love since Tom doesn't turn the heat on till January, or sometimes February, so thanks Nancy I love it. And I love the flowers too!!!!!!! Rebecca got me a movie gift card with a max and Ermas gc.. but she told Tom that I get to pick the movie out not him. lol
Lastly was Toms gift.... There is a story behind it. Most of you know that we love to play games, its fun and we have spent many hours laughing till wee hours in the morning playing, Well I'm fine with all the games except for PIT. I don't know who has played it, but its just mass chaos and I hate it. there I said it.. So for the past 4 years Pit has been out of the Schmitt home because I wont play it. So a month of so ago I was looking for something at Ralph and Rebeccas house and I found a Lord of the Rings Risk.. Which is another game that I don't like but I showed it to Tom and told him I would only play because it was lotrs.
So one Night we were all sitting around and Nancy asked if I would play PIT if it was lord of the rings.. I said sure.. So Tom went to work and this is the result............
LORD OF THE RINGS PIT
Most of this I have to thank Doug because he design this on illustrator and emailed to Tom and Tom did the rest. For a few weeks now Tom has said he really needs to be at his parents house to work on "physics" and talk with Doug about "physics"but really the physics was this project.
Tom cut out the map and stained the whole box so it has Middle Earth on it. These are just a few views of the box.
It came with custom directions. When we start we say "So it begins" and when we finish we say "It is a gift" He even put green felt on the bottom so it will be easy to grab the cards out.
Instead of the Bear and the Bull we have the Eye of Sauron and The one Ring.
These are all the PIT cards, Tom thought really hard about who was the most important characters to me and made them the most points and so on.. Its a no brainier who it worth 100 points. I need to add that he hand cut all of them out and used a stamper to round the edges.
So After I opened the gift and laughed we decided to play.. and yep I loved it. We know the way to my heart. lol So Thanks Tom for this way cool gift and all the time and hard work he put into it. I love it. Now we just need a Twilight Pit. :)

That truly is such an amazing gift, so much time and thought he must of put in to that. The box is beautiful.... I'm glad you had a good birthday. You will have to bring PIT over so we can play. Love you.
Yeah, wow Tom. That's impressive and looks like a lot of work, but cool too. :) So do you really like Pit now, or are you just saying it in elfin? (is that the language of the elves)? Anyways glad your bday was good and that you liked present #2. Love you.
Awww...what a sweetie! And what a cool birthday present! I hope it was a happy one. And I love your new theme song on your blog too! Happy Birthday Michelle!!!
yeah tell Tom he did a great job. Now maybe next year he can make you a Lord of the Rings snuggie. He he!
First of all happy really late birthday! I can't beleive Tom made that, very impressive.
Ps I forgot that you use to call me cooper.haha
So you think you will start making and selling them, because I would like one. I know for sure that Leah and Joe would want one too. So this could be a new side job for you=) or ya know what ever. Seriously I thought when I first saw the picture that you had found it online somewhere and bought it, that is how amazing it looks. Like some collectors edition of pit.
