Birthday Girl

Friday saw our third family birthday in a month as we celebrated Angie's youth.  The kids seemed as excited as she did--thinking surely they would get to go to a movie like they did on Dad's b-day ... but no.  She did get some good cards.

We won't say how old she is this year.
Dad was able to find some Christmas socks, even though it is too hot here to wear socks!  They are a favorite of Angie's and she would typically wear them every day from Thanksgiving to New Years (at least).  Somewhere in KY a box of them is hidden away awaiting her cold toes. 

Also, after searching for weeks we found her an iPod dock thing.  All her gifts she had guessed days ago, though.  She's next to impossible to surprise.  In the past 19 years I have surprised her once.  Just once.
We wound up the early part of the day with lunch at TGIFridays where they made the Birthday Girl stand in a chair and sing.  Not so bad since the place is priced the same as the US so typically not too many folks are in there.  She got a piece of cheesecake and we all wolfed it down (Hudson was especially wolfy with it).

Later we had some brownies and ice cream, too.  One needs to make sure one has adequate sweets on special days.  So until we celebrate another birthday (Monday) we will have to put away our festivities.

In between the BD girl got to hang out with some leeches ... but that is another post!!
