Birthday!

I think this is the first time I've ever blogged about my birthday during Birthday Month. I *know* its the first time I've had pictures to accompany anything related to my birthday!
Even the Wii was congratulatory!

My BIL (brother in law, Shrek) and I share the same birthday. Which is awesome. He had a "landmark" birthday this year, so we celebrated with his choice of activity: mini golf and pizza.
Family Mini golf

We had a great time - BIL came in with the top score, and I came in second. Appropriate for the birthday people! I also scored T H R E E holes-in-one which was pretty awesome!
Viking golf!

And at work it's been an office tradition (for the past year, ever since our department was formed) to surprise-decorate one's office for their birthday. Mine wasn't decorated until the afternoon (surprise!!!) but I'm keeping the decorations up til Halloween!

I also go some great gifts this year. From EJ:

Handmade sock blockers and a gorgeous hammered copper cuff (he made both of these gifts himself)

And from Mom:

A cross stitch project I've been wanting for over a year, and a *GREAT* ArtBin tote to put a bunch of my craft supplies in (it has 5 or 6 flat plastic boxes inside for floss or whatever).

It was a great celebration weekend - and since then I've had a gift certificate from work (for the agency store), two lovely birthday dinners, and will be celebrating with Dad for a third!
