What a Party!

I'm BEAT! My mom had a whole lunch open ticket waiting for us at the Oakwood (Bar NONE the best ribs around btw) so we ate out there. Home for Rachel's homemade peanut butter cake and Twix icecream (diet starts next week evidently) and of course, presents!




The Girls and I!

Did they HAVE to put 40 candles on that cake?!?

BLOW!

We had to re-light some again for more blows from Kate.

She really loved helping cut!

Ribs, ribs and more ribs.

Drunk on ribs.

Rach got me an IPOD to work out at the Y with! Can you believe that???

A little chocolate...

A Great Big God...

Hugs for a WORKING Mom???

Loved my new briefcase. I can't believe I need a briefcase!

Editor-in-waiting food.

Lauren crafted this rose out of clay with NO help.

Artistic talent did not skip her!

Daddy comes through with a laptop!

I'm SOOO spoiled! ;)

But he can't resist the joke...

Note the: "Lucky Me" at the bottom.
He is soooooo spoiled too! ;)
C'mere Daddy-O!

You spoiled rotten brat! Just kidding! Amazing presents. My favorite. That rose. Holy cow! That is gorgeous. Oh the ipod though? Very cool. It looks like you had one fabulous birthday. And it's Friday, so just celebrate for the rest of the weekend. When my sister turned 40 she celebrated for about two weeks. Finally she called me one day and said "it's official, I'm sick of myself."
Enjoy the rest of the day!
And do not wait for a whole other week to post something! That is a command and I know chewhi will support me in this, right chewhi?

I'm sooo pathetic - you made such a wonderful video for me and I haven't even wished you happy birthday. So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I had a vague feeling that your birthday was near to mine - should have remembered that. Looks like you had a great day!!
