We went to Mom and Dad's for my birthday weekend!
And some of our favorite people joined us for dinner!
Peter and Lily enjoyed cake, of course!
The kids enjoyed time with Uncle Henry!
Lily and Henry read the paper together in the mornings! ;)
After we came home, Lily helped me open my gift from Mike!
Its a beautiful jewelry box that Mike MADE for me. He made it out of mahogany that he bought while we lived in Morocco 6 years ago (how has it been that long?! makes me feel like I need to go back!) but never finished it. He's spent many "spare" hours recently finishing it for me. I love it! He came up with this name design for us when we were dating/engaged. So he carved it under the top of the box. Its my name right side up and his name from the other way. And he made a little stamp out of the design (while we were engaged) and sealed my birthday note with it.
Kathy came over one afternoon of the following week and brought a mini birthday party to us! Cupcakes!
(This is when we were all 3 sick... can you tell in Lily's eyes?!)
Finally, Mike and I went out for a fun date night the following weekend. I love stretching it out. Since it was great weather, we walked up to a favorite restaurant near us!
Picasa has lots of fun new editing effects (these pics are done in "HDR"... so you may be seeing lots of those on here! :)
