December 7

Seven days into the December Photo Project and today is the first one where I remembered to take my camera on an outing. I present to you: Walgreens, Christmas Edition.

This evening we dined at Lonestar with Jeremy's side of the family... Steak, shrimp, fried onions and ice cream cake. What more could a girl want for her birthday? Mmm, mmm good. I've been very very blessed this year with tons of well wishes from family and friends—you guys really are the best—and fairly spoiled with fab-u-lous gifts that, if given enough time, may turn me into an introvert. (Jeremy, love of my life, THANK YOU!) And just so you know, Adam & Kris, I feel giddy at the very thought of opening the art set you gave me. I'm hoping Livia will be satisfied with her paltry Crayolas when she sets eyes upon my new goodies. Today she turned 19 months old and let me tell ya what, she gets smarter every day. I wouldn't be surprised if she ignores her ROY G. BIV options and goes for my new oil and acrylics.

Anyhow, thank you, thank you, thank you all for the fun birthday extravaganza!
