Today is my birthday.  If you’ve been following this blog for more than a year or if you know me well you will know that I like to celebrate my birthday all week long.  I’m a bit of a princess when it comes to my birthday.  And there is no shame in that.  I’m not in it for the gifts (well, more on this later, the gifts are awesome), I’m mostly in it for the celebration and fun!  This week I’ve enjoyed a girl’s night out and a double date night with good friends.  And then today I started the day with farm fresh scrambled eggs & homemade multi-grain toast.  Then I went for a long walk in a cemetery with Henry and my Daddio.  After our walk I joined my sibs for a delicious lunch at Myra’s Dionysus (and perhaps an afternoon cocktail on the veranda).  This evening I got to avoid dishes and cooking by packing up the fam and heading for Mi Tierra.  I did get some fabulous gifts this week…a new tele-photo zoom lens for my camera, hand-made cards from the kids, a yellow feather from a sweet little girl, and eclairs from her baking wiz Mama.  I also got an awesome cupcake carrier and Sam made me a Bionicle today.  The best gift though was Ella being chosen to take part in a leadership conference this summer!  I’m so proud of my girl!
Here are some pictures from my wonderful day….
