Another Year Older

Although my birthday was on Sunday this year, there were some definite advantages to this. A two day celebration instead of one day, and Jason didn't have school either of those days!! So we had a great weekend together. Saturday night he took me to Natalee's Thai Restaurant for dinner. It was really yummy and had a fun atmosphere. Afterwords, we went to the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. The street is closed to cars and is lined with shops and restaurants. There is lots to look at, including crazy and interesting people!! While there, someone tried to sale us "fresh homemade cookies", teenage boys asked Jason to buy them alcohol, we saw lots of brake dancing and street musicians, and we watched a lively debate between an atheist and a christian (which was pretty heated). Lots of entertainment! This picture is kinda hard to see because it was dark, but it's a big dinosaur. They have a bunch down the center of the road. Kinda fun!!

After browsing 3rd Street Promenade, we went to the Santa Monica Pier, which is always fun. That is a big ferris wheel in the background, whic is on the pier. We haven't been on it yet, but maybe someday. There's other carnival type rides and lots of vendors to watch. It is one of my favorites.
On the second day of celebration, Jason got up early and made me breakfast before our 8:30 church! He made me bacon, eggs, toast, and orange juice, which was delish!! Thanks hun! That night our friends Daniel and Kylie came over as well. They made me a yummy multi layered chocolate pudding, whipped cream cake! It was tasty!! We also played some pit and Settlers. It was a fun night for sure!!
Our camera battery died after pictures of the cake, so I couldn't get pictures of anyone else. So here's one of Daniel and Kylie from a few weeks ago. Thanks so much for the cake and for playing with us, you guys are great!!
