Happy birthday, E!

the anniversary of the day of my birth

the sign on my parents' chalkboard :: dad :: me and mom :: balloons

me and the hubs :: presents :: grandmama and grandaddy :: me and dad

yellow tulips :: little (read: younger) brother :: polka dot cake :: mom

me and ballons :: rubix cube :: story telling :: me and my brother

i guess i'm one year older and wiser too. my birthday was lovely and full of all that's important. that being family. don't get me wrong, the cake and presents and flowers were good too. but all i wanted was a family party with a homemade dinner. 

mom's dinner for the win. huzzah.
