Just taking a moment from packing to enjoy my birthday presents from Mark. Tomorrow, we're headed to the beach - Ocean City, New Jersey to be exact. Unlike with British soccer camp, I hope Lauren does not bring home the accent. ;)
But before we go, I want to take another moment to give a big thanks to my far away friends that go out of their way to make me feel special on my birthday. Since I can't show you my gratitude in person, I hope this blog tribute lets you know how much I appreciate your thoughfulness!
First up, my awesome cousin Noreen sent me a gift wrapped in the most amazing mod-printed wrapping paper. I almost didn't want to tear into it, but of course, I did anyway.
Inside was this oh-so pretty recipe book. Noreen makes the best thumbprints you've ever tasted, and it will be the first recipe that I add to it.
Then there was this - the best notepad EVER. I will let it speak for itself.
Next, I received this from my dear friend, Dolores. She knows that I love collecting Eiffel Towers and always keeps an eye out for me. This one I refer to as "Big Mama Eiffel" (Or maybe that should be Grand Maman Eiffel?), because she also sent me a little baby Eiffel that serves as a photo clip. Dolores is known for her famous biscotti, so maybe a biscotti recipe should be the next one I add to my new book!
Yep, with birthdays are like this, I almost don't mind getting old!
