I'm getting older

But none the wiser.  ;)

My birthday this year went off with very little fanfare (which is exactly what I wanted).  I'm not a big fan of huge birthday celebrations (unless you're a little kid, then birthdays should be fun).  But this year my parents came over and brought pizza (don't remember from where) and yummy desserts from Kneaders then we watched the Woman's basketball game verses Gonzaga (which BYU won easily).

Then on the weekend, a few of my friends that I've known FOREVER came over and helped me celebrate. 

Yes, they even made me wear a "Princess" crown.  (Thanks Court).  Needless to say, I wore it for the photo and then it came off.  It is now hanging in my sewing room.

I'm such a horrible planner that when it came to Christmas gifts, I was really late in giving them over.  So at this little party, they finally came in so I let them pick their present.  Well, it was more of a random drawing.  I gave them all "diseases" or cells of some sort..

They are all the plushy type.  Michael got "MRSA", Jakob the "Plague", Dustin a "Bookworm", Andrea got "Mono", Mira a "White Blood Cell" (and if you look closely and know Doctor Who, they modeled the Adipose babies after white blood cells), Jacob a "Brain Cell", Doug (don't remember), the Twins got "Flesh Eating Virus" and "Stem Cell", Court got "Rabies" and I have "Mad Cow Disease".  They are fun.  Look up "Giant Microbe Plushy" and I think you'll find a better picture.

Court's and Jakob's diseases got into a little "argument".  I still think that The Black Plague would beat out Rabies any day.

Sorry, Court.  I still think Black Plague would win.

Thanks for a great evening!
