The Birthday Party:

We had a very nice birthday gathering at our house yesterday. Mom, my niece and I celebrated our birthdays. We had pizza from Papa Murphy's, veggies, chips and dip for lunch. There were around 20 of us, and my friend Nancy and daughter Kristin came from Portland to attend. Kari and Casey couldn't come because of illness, and we missed them.

Thank you everybody who came and for all of my friends on Facebook who wished me a happy birthday. It really was a happy birthday for me!
