"21"

"May you live all the days of your life." -Jonathan Swift

This is the first {and last} time I'll celebrate my birthday

TWICE in one year.

Mom was thinking of doing it Christmas day,

but that was a little much.

{I turn 21 on January 2nd.}

I drove over to my family's home yesterday afternoon

and helped top a fruit pizza Mom was so kindly making for me.

"A birthday fruit pizza", she called it.

And it was so good.
We enjoyed watching the beginning of Julie & Julia together

before the boys came home.

At which time, we switched to Guitar Hero mode,

and I discovered my love for electronic, musically-inaccurate drums.

{You get the guitar from now on, Chan;

I want the drum kit.}

Pere's too much of a real musician to play such a silly game.

{He's amazing.}
Mom got me a SPA TREATMENT for a gift.

Oh, how well she knows me.

I love you, Mere.

We dined at Red Robin for dinner {a.k.a. "tea" for you, Bryn-love}

and watched the beautifully refreshing film, Sherlock Holmes.

And for those who don't understand why we celebrated a little bit early,

please refer to prior blog posts.

{Psst, I'll be out of the country.}

Happy birthday in advance to all the other January babies!

{That means you too, Mom!}
