Birthday 2009: Awesome!!

Had the funnest birthday this year!!!

Thursday: We went over to Amy and Adam's for dinner and birthday cake. Amy made yummy taco salad and we had dinner and cake with them and the kids. They got me a Michael's gift card and a cute monogrammed notepad and matching luggage tag. We brought our Rockband stuff over and played that for a while with everyone. Fun stuff!!!

Friday: At work, my team brought in munchies and an ice cream cake - yum!! I left work early (yay!) and came home to clean the house before everyone came over. My parents sent me a beautiful flower bouquet and I talked to them on the phone. Eric's parents and Ed & Kristen got here around 6:30 and we ate Pei Wei, had ice cream cake, and played Rockband. More fun stuff!!

Saturday: slept a ton, got up and did some stuff, took a nap, and then we did a couple of errands. We met up with 5 other couples for dinner : Jill & Dan, Amanda & Rob, Josee & Matt, Jen & Alex, and Tammi & Scott. This was our monthly dinner club and we had Thai/Vietnamese at Lotus Leaf - YUM!!!! Jen casually mentioned that their house was just a few minutes away, why don't we all go back there for some Rockband (see, we're not the only ones!!) so we agreed. Once we got there, we headed downstairs to their basement, where the new giant TV and all the gaming stuff lives. Next thing I know, Jen and Tammi are coming down the stairs with a cake with candles!!! Surprise!!! I had no idea but apprently they had been conspiring with Eric on what kind of cake I like. And man, this was GOOD CAKE. YUMMO!! And such a surprise! So, we rocked out for a while, and then somehow the subject of cards came up and next thing you know the girls are in the other room playing spades while the guys are rockin' out. Too bad we had to call it a night early since Eric had to work today; it was a really fun nigh!!
