{a wonderful birthday}

Yesterday was my birthday and I was so blessed by my family. First in the morning we went to breakfast at The Brown Bag. That place is one of my favorites. I have probably been there 4 times in my whole life before this month, but this month I have gone twice. Lets say my diet started today. Anyway, I had a wonderful breakfast with my sister and my parents. The sun also decided to shine all day long yesterday and it was glorious. 70 degrees and sunny- oh yeah baby! After breakfast, well brunch, we went home and I worked on some homework until about 4 when the other half of my family showed up. Ross and Melissa and Ross and Ida came over for the rest of the evening. One thing I got for my birthday was a new camera lens!!! My current one was broken when a stage insert fell on my camera about a year ago, so my nice camera has been collecting dust ever since, but now that I have a new lens, it collects dust no longer. That makes me a happy girl. Since I have a working camera again, I took a "couple" pictures yesterday, well maybe it was closer to 200, but you catch my drift. Anyway, here are my faves from yesterday.
