Happy Birthday (Week) to Kim!

Since two of my sisters were in town visiting during the week of my birthday we decided to just party it up all week long.  Hear, hear for Birthday Week!

Monday, March 10th: Lunch with my branch lady friends: Lara, Bobbi, Cherish, Heather, Gwen and Cindi.  We always go to e-town in Edwards for birthdays (they told me it's because they have the biggest booths/tables, but the food is pretty tasty and decently priced for these parts, too).  I got the Zastrow: blackened chicken breast, pepperjack, avocado spread, lettuce and tomato on a ciabatta roll - delish!  They were kind enough to bring me flowers, cards and a plate of homemade chocolate chip cookies to share.  And they were more than welcoming to the sisters and the Calster, too.  It was a fun party.  (Sorry, no pictures.)

Tuesday, March 11th: The day!  We met Gregg for lunch at the Lark, where I got my free birthday burger.  Oh, yeah.  As always, the food here was amazing!  And the company was great, too.  :)  We had Cookie Fudge Aggie Ice Cream, brought from Logan by Heatha, for dessert that evening while playing a mean game of Phase 10.  And I opened up my present from Mom and Dad: some new yoga pants and cute long sleeve tees - so fun and comfy!

Behold the deliciousness!

Cal had butternut squash and pears brought
from home.  But she did get to taste her very
first french fry and LOVED it.  (Of course.)

Wednesday, March 12th: This was the day that Kylie, Callie and I went to the library and then walked over to Sports Authority to buy my new birthday shoes.  They look like this and they are awesome.  It was also the day of the Aggie Men's Basketball "Miracle at the Mack" during the Mountain West Championships.  Holy Moly.  Talk about March Madness.

Thursday, March 13th: Heather was back from her weeds conference in Colorado Springs. (Yes, it's kind of a funny joke if you think about it: Weeds. Colorado. Yeah.)  With her help, I was able to concoct a beauty of a birthday cake, which was a little bit of a departure from my traditional strawberry shortcake.  But, oh my was it ever a delicious departure.

Cal was there to help me with some extra
fingers to add up to 29.

Almost got a five-finger addition here.
But mostly it's "flappy bird"

So maybe not on the extra fingers, but
she sure makes up for it with that
million dollar smile, eh?

Friday, March 14th: We spent the day sewing: jersey knit maxi skirts (Kim and Heath), a shoulder bag / purse (Kim), and a baby blanket for a friend (Heath).  We also celebrated Pi Day (3-14, get it?) with some homemade pizza pie (a Friday tradition in these parts).  (Again, no pics.)

Saturday, March 15th: The sisters headed home, but not before a couple photos with the Calster.  What a fun week we all had.  Let's do it again soon!
