another birthday celebration

Yes, yes. This time it was mine. My birthday was on Sunday, and I had a nearly perfect day. Matt gave me the whole day (after church, of course) to do whatever I wanted without interruption. I chose:

  • a short nap (which unfortunately was interrupted by a series of tantrums, despite Matt's best efforts. Hence the nearly perfect part. Thanks for trying though, Babe!)

  • working on my digital scrapbook

  • making Mint Pina-Colada smoothies with Garrett

  • eating this sort of chocolate goodness:
  • enjoying the Sabbath evening with my family

My birthday also included these:

but they'll get a post of their own.

Here's to getting older!
