Oh my! January is birthday month in our home! My parents are first. Both of my parents were born on January 1st. Crazy huh? When I was a little girl, I thought you had to marry someone who had the same birthday as you. Silly, I know. Anyway, we usually spend New Year's Eve with my family to celebrate their birthdays. This year was no exception. Typically my mom makes tons of food and we start snacking. Around 8:00 we put all the kids to bed, and the adults start in on a game of Nert. Its a card game which is very complicated. You have to play in pairs, and the winner each round gets a present. It is so much fun. Really intense, but really fun! This year was especially fun because my dad turned 50! He really didn't want anything big, so we got him a cake and said sang Happy Birthday.
Next Up is Micah's Birthday. Micah turned 31 this year!
I cannot believe he is so old. I really don't think Micah looks that old. He really is a kid at heart! However, Micah does have grey hairs, but don't remind him. Last year I planned so many fun things. I sent Micah to Costa Rica to go surfing and had a huge surprise birthday party. I felt bad because I knew this year would never measure up. After Christmas and all of the emotional trails I had been through, I couldn't come up with something special. So, I got him a few things, and we had a nice dinner at Mikado. Oh well! I am hoping that Micah will achieve one of his biggest dreams this year of becoming a dad. That would totally make up for his sad birthday.

It is nice that Micah's family gets together once a month.
Last up is my birthday!!! For me, I like birthday's to be a little different. I really don't care about the presents. Christmas was less than a month before, and there usually isn't something that I am just dying for. I really like to be showered with love and homemade sugars. I also love to travel, so Micah and I usually end up going away for the weekend. My mom really does a great job. She knows I LOVE baked goods, so I this year I came home to mini cupcakes, bunt cakes, and cookies. It was the best! At the last minute Micah and I went to Las Vegas. We were only there for about 26 hours, but it was awesome! We just kinda walked around and ate good food. All I can say is that I have the best husband!
