My Birthday Cakes

Steven, Dylan, and Isaac woke me up with breakfast in bed. I said "you made eggs?!" then woke up a little more and realized he had gotten up early, gotten ready, and had picked up Perkins for us. Then, he picked me up from work on my lunch break and took me to Pei Wei. After my delicious tofu pad thai, we had time to go to Best Buy. You know what that means . . .
He (and my mom) got me a new camera!!!!!!
It's a Canon Rebel "starter" one. I was so excited to read the manual that I opened the plastic as soon as the cashier handed Steven his reciept.
I took it in to work to show it off and to charge the battery. Dr. Brayer had gotten me a carrot cake and a card that told me not to work too hard. I didn't mind being at work on my birthday. I talked to my patients about periodontal disease AND my new camera that was sitting on the counter instead of toothbrushes.
After work, I picked up the boys and Corrie had made me frosted brownies with Strawberries on top and gave me my present, including one of her gift certificates for a free hour massage! After finally getting home, Steven gave us Tropical Smoothies and I read through my camera manual. (I had left my camera battery on the charger in my operatory and we had bought the wrong size card for the camera so we had to wait in the return line at Best Buy. Good thing Steven picked up smoothies b/c we were all antsy to get home sweet home.) I got packages in the mail, a tripod from Kat and Matt, an oats grinder from my dad, and a lot of fabric for some projects.
Some more of my family came over for cake, and they brought babysitting gift certificates and buckets of Rita's Italian Ice! Luckily, I had figured out the self timer on my Rebel for this cake picture. I'm so loved! Home Made Strawberry Short Cake + Carrot Cake + Frosted Brownies with Strawberries + Strawberry Chocolate Mouse Cake + Rita's = tummy ache the next day and a big smile on my face now.
