I was so lucky this year to have a whole weekend of birthday celebrations. First I threw myself a tea party on Saturday. It was an intimate affair with four of us at the table. I went crazy making lots of food. I made two kinds of tortilla roll-ups - one had hummous with tomato and spinach and the other had a roasted yam and garlic spread with red peppers. I also made a white cake with marshmallow icing, oat drop scones with jam and chocolate covered strawberries. I had different kinds of tea and for my non tea drinking friends I had water and raspberry lemonade.
When the party was over I went to the mailbox and inside were two birthday cards, a letter and a magazine that I subscribe to. Yippee! I love getting lots of fun stuff in the mail.
Will took the kids out for the afternoon and after my friends left I had some time to myself to work on a project that I've been wanting to do for a while. A little bit later Will dropped Liam off at home and he and the girls continued on with their adventures for the day. Liam was in such a great mood and I was able to continue working on my project while he watched and laughed.
Yesterday, for my actual birthday I got to be lazy. Will brought home lunch from my favortie Mexican restaurant so I didn't have to cook. Afterwards I had a long hot shower followed by a nap. Will took the kids out for a half hour so I had time to myself again. I continued to work on my project and then I watched a few episodes of Due South on DVD. For my birthday Will got my bike tuned up and a litter box cake. (Yes, it's exactly how it sounds - cake in a litter box, including choclate "poop".) And from my kids I got a fight-free day. Bliss!
It was such a great birthday that I almost didn't mind turning 36.

I'm so glad you had such a great birthday!!! I loved getting to celebrate it with you. Thanks.
I'm glad that you were able to come over. It was so fun to have you there.
I was so bummed I couldn't come on Saturday. I was stuck in a hotel ballroom in Nampa all day. YUCK! I'm glad you had a lovely birthday!! Fight free day sounds like heaven to me!
I am loving the sounds of all the interruption free napping, showering, project making and tv watching you did! How wonderful! And the snacks you made for your party sounded wonderful - yum, raspberry lemonade...
