my 40th birthday

It is no secret...I celebrated the BIG 4-0 this year. On my actual birthday, my family took me out to one of my most favorite places, Shogun. little c particulary enjoys all the fire and smoke and knife tossing, etc. For me, it is the fried rice. LOVE. IT.

little c and Granny take in the show

little c wows us all with her command of chopsticks

When we returned home we had one of Granny's famous cakes (which I was too full to enjoy.)

Yep. Just one candle. That's all we needed.

little c insisted that I blow out the candle and that she take a picture of it.

Happy Birthday to me!
