Happiest of birthdays

My wonderful and culinary fiance Dennis made me a delicious dinner complete with lemon-frosted cake (my favorite) and flowers (my favorite)! It was absolutely delicious! Thanks again R! :)


Then his sister Molly and BJH came over and staged a candle-blowing-out that required a bit of support since the candle was accessorized rather than attached. I was up to the challenge.

And we ended the night by seeing "Momma Mia" at the theater, or rather, singing Momma Mia at the theater. It was fabulous! Meryl Streep has reached a new height in my estimation. Dennis and I also went to my parents' house in Centerville yesterday and re-created the cake part with a chocolate cake and brownies with my parents and Emily and John and their kids. I'm sad it's over. But there's always next year.

and some like to eat grass.


Grass-eating intervention successful.
