Birthday (Photo)Blog

Aside from a few dinners and lunches I still need to take people up on, my birthday festivities have come to an end. I had a really great time. I got to hang with family and friends and keep it fairly laid back. The big deal for me was that I got to drink, dance and sit all at the same place. Gee, I have gotten old! lol. I received so many great gifts that I have been showing off to anyone who slightly cares. It was definitely the year of the unique gifts. Don got me a great digital camera, so the rest of this blog is my evidence of playing around with my new camera. If you wonder why there aren't any pics from my actual birthday day it's because I didn't get it until that evening after dinner. So all of the family pictures are still waiting to be developed. We went to Buca, which is always fun. We sat at the kitchen table and I got cake, candles and the whole nine yards. I couldn't be happier.

This was me playing around with close-ups.

On the day after my birthday, my mom took me out for a manicure and pedicure.
It's great mother-daughter time.

My goofy toes and...

my beautiful fingers!

This is me later that night at the Mexican joint at the Hilton.
It wasn't that great and we were there forever.

As you can see, we introduced many more people to the wonders of the Warp Core Breach. Yum.

I love Cole's face! He must have sucked down some dry ice. Gross.

Don and Cole showed off their straw engineering skills.

This picture cracks me up! Intergalactic love.

The next few pics are courtesy of Laura, Doreen and Debbie's mad decorating skills...

Yippee! I got a birthday toilet seat.
It sure beats the Christmas hubcap!

Doreen even made a Care Bear table runner. How cute is that?

Thanks to Veronica for the pretty flowers. So sweet!

I told you I got some unique stuff!
Laura found this glass in Oregon.
It's perfect and I totally love it!

B-day dinner at Debbie and Gary's. It would take way too long to explain what went on here and why everyone is smiling so much... Get your minds out of the gutter! lol

You know it's a good time when Don gets a busted lip!
(I didn't do it this time. Gary's responsible. It was an accident.)

So, that's a small representation of all the fun we had. Of course, there were more cool people and more cool gifts than what's pictured. Thanks to everybody for all the love! For another perspective on the b-day events visit Don's blog.
