our days and nights got mixed up this year. we went out for evan’s birthday dinner to the japanese steak house up the street along with buddy, sam, grandan, evan, andrew and leah. we laughed a lot, especially at elise – she jumped under the table every time the fire flared up.
evan got a camera this year from us. i can’t wait to see the world thru his artsy eyes.
we waited until the next morning to do birthday breakfast so that sam and daddy could join us. his choice this year was a carb fest — pumpkin pancakes with chocolate chips, cinnamon rolls, and grapefruit. *insert fat cheeks face*



earlier in the week i took ice cream cones and bowls of toppings to celebrate at school. whew! now i’m tired…that’s a lot of celebrating.
