the most wonderful time of the year

I've never minded having my birthday in December.  It's far enough away from Christmas that it just makes this time of year even better!  I decided that I actually like having my birthday on a Sunday because not only do I get to chill all day with the people I love, I also get to celebrate it all weekend long! (And a week and a half later.)  My birthday was filled with a weekend of wonderful food from The DoDo and Little America and hanging out with the best people in the world.  Steve even watched a chick flick with me. (It’s the one night a year that I can get him to watch one with me so I've decided to make it a tradition!!)  We also went out with my friends this week to Cowboy Grub to celebrate my birthday and Christmas.  Just being at “The Grub” brought back too many good memories from my high school days when I used to work there (or more like where I attempted to serve people food but ended up just playing with all my coworkers in the back kitchen.  Oh, the good ol days).  We decided to do a white elephant gift exchange as well and had some pretty great gifts including a creepy baby doll, a beta fish (which has now made our kitchen counter it’s new home. Hopefuly Benji won’t get to him…), a random family’s framed photo, and much, much more.  We also had a party with #thisisfriends over my b-day weekend with a white elephant gift exchange which was a blast as well! I L.O.V.E. this time of year!!!!  





We went to Little America on my birthday with my family and cute Bubba was so excited to give me his gift.  Lindy said that when he found out it was my birthday he ran to his treasure chest and picked a ring to give me and told Lindy "She's gonna to think it's soooo beautiful!!"  She had told me this right before I opened it so of course I said "Oh, Bubba this is soooo beautiful!"  And he just shook his head confidently up and down and walked away arrogantly.  It was pretty funny.  His $.25 cent ring sure puts my worth-a-little-more-than-$.25 cent ring to shame! ;) 





I think my favorite part of the birthday dinner with my friends was Marci opening up the present with the creepy baby doll.  She reached in the bag and was squealing the whole time because she kept feeling "a creepy hand and bald head".  She was hilarious. 

What a cute lil fam!
The best part is the tag from the D.I. was still on...who would actually pay $2.00 for this creepy thing without it being a joke?  Hmmm....
