Katie’s Birthday. She turned 36 on May 29. I had a wonderful week of celebrations. On Sunday, we ate at Charl's parents as we normally do. We had my favorite...STEAK. Carol made me a fabulous German Chocolate Cake (3 layers and it was heart shaped). They sang and I blew out the candles. The next day (Memorial Day), the festivities continued as we BBQ'd at Granny's and had hamburgers and hot dogs and too much food to even mention. Then Keith and I opened up gifts (his birthday is the 27th). I got more food storage stuff (containers and sugar and milk) and a cast iron skillet. I have been wanting on of those to cook up some yummy steaks. Thanks! My mom sent me a card with cash and notecards. Thanks mom for all you do. On my actual birthday, Charl and I took the kids to a Mexican restaurant close by. It was OK, but we ate really fast because Andersen does NOT like Mexican food. He won't eat any of it...we'll he did eat the fried ice cream. We came home and I opened my presents: a tennis racket and 2 videos (The Chipmunks and Enchanted), and a carrying case for the portable DVD player. Then my friend Kristin flew in from Cali and stayed the night with us before driving up to Idaho for her grandpa's funeral. Becca (college roommate) came over too, so we had a fun girl's evening. Oh yeah, thanks Kristin for bring the fixin's for ice cream sundaes.
