We surprised my dad with a belated birthday gift: Foo Fighters tickets! But it was also my sister Patricia’s birthday so we gave her some presents too. We went to the concert that night. Amazing!

46th birthday CAKE

Jeaux decided it was sad that I never get cakes baked for me since I am the one who always bakes others’ cakes, so he decided to try baking his very first cake FOR ME. It’s a yellow cake with homemade buttercream frosting!

Meg and I headed out to St. Pete to check out the art museum, and then we got sushi at a restaurant called Lemongrass, and then we went shopping and had dinner at Mandola’s. It was a very cold day so we huddled in our Comfy wearable blankets after!

I was gonna wait and surprise her on her birthday but as soon as she said her feet were cold and she wished she’d brought her slippers, I knew I had to give her her birthday gift early. Warm Meg!
