Dad holding the cake down low so Gavin could help me blow the candles out. Yes, this is a NASTY picture. But my dad is funny.
As you can tell, my family came out to our place to help me celebrate my birthday! It was my first birthday away from home (ok ok I know it's lame) and they made it special for me :). My mom always made a big deal out of birthdays, and being so close to Christmas I was always home for mine (hey there IS something good about Dec birthdays!!) - the birthdays signs, and picking what meals she made that day, and not having to do dishes (oh what i would give now...) or any other chores, and getting birthday presents along with a brand new birthday outfit. :) And then you grow up and leave home and birthdays are a normal day - reality check! :) So, thanks fam!!
