I was looking over these birthday party photos, and I thought, "Hmm, some people may construe this evening as being rather, well, boring. Or at least simple." And that's okay. You know, I'm just at that point in my life where I just want to be with my family and some close friends for the important celebrations. Last night, my birthday party, was a great example. I couldn't think of anything better than trooping over to my folks' house, meeting up with them, my sister and her husband, and four good friends and enjoying chili dogs and homemade macaroni and cheese. Really, it was perfect.
Dad, Raechel, Ryan, Allan, Megan,
Mom, Joey, Candice (with Charlotte), and me.
Steve is taking the photo.
The boys are throwing macaroni around
somewhere behind me.
Yay 26!
Apparently everyone thought it was
pretty grand that I got the candles out
on the first blow.
I love my birthday loot!
As I mentioned before, Stephen worked hard behind the scenes (he would say cryptic things like, "The birthday gnomes are busy.") and by the time the celebration was through I had the first three books in the Twilight series and another book on Orthodoxy from Stephen, plus a nice fistful of cash. What with the gourmet, comfort food cuisine and vampire love sagas, what more could a girl want?
It was so much fun. I might have to do it again next year.

Steve doesn't look quite as enthusiastic as you do in that last photo.
I don't look half as enthusiastic as any of you in the first. Ugh - what a night!
It was a real treat to be with you all, and especially to celebrate your birthday with you!
Also, I'm so glad I don't have to enter a code word to comment on your blog any more. You've made my life much simpler.
