Evan got the day started right by making crepes for breakfast. Actually, he made two kinds of crepes! He made a small batch of gluten-free ones for me and a large batch of regular ones for the rest of the family. They were delicious with fresh fruit!
Molly made my whole week special by asking members of our extended family to write me a birthday wish. Every day she emailed me letters from a few of my loved ones!
My sister Jenny said she would take me to see a Shakespeare play and she more than kept her promise. We saw a really fun musical version of A Midsummer Night's Dream and a few days later she took me out to lunch and to see a film version of Much Ado About Nothing.
John took some time off from work and we went out to lunch, walked along the beach and played frisbee in the sand and then went out to dinner.
When we got home, we found that Marianne had made yummy German chocolate cupcakes from scratch. My favorite flavor and gluten-free to boot! I know they were a lot of work and it was even harder because Lavender really wanted to eat them all. Marianne kept telling her that they were for my birthday and tried to teach her to say "Happy Birthday." Lavender got half of it right. She did wish me "happy" when we got home. Then she ran to the kitchen, frantically begging for cupcakes and shouting "happy, happy, happy." She seemed to think the cupcakes were called "happy." Now, almost a month later, any time she wants a treat she still asks for "happy." John brought home a big box of donuts yesterday and she was thrilled to have "happy" for dessert last night.. Guess what she wanted for breakfast this morning?

Do you like the way she is attacking that donut in the top picture? She may not be smiling, but she is definitely HAPPY!
