My Birthday (for real this time)

Thanks to all of my friends and family for making my birthday enjoyable. My family had a busy weekend because Daniel was speaking in church on Sunday before leaving on his mission (this Wednesday) so, we had a "birthday breakfast" bright and early. My mom made some great omelets and fruit that we put the candle in.




Then, Ethan 'helped' me open my presents. My mom and dad brought me this really great nativity set back from Jerusalem with them that I had wanted. It is a handmade set in the authentic Palestinian dress. I still have my olive wood set, so I will just add this to it. I also received an 'amber stone' necklace, a plaque with the temple on it that Kristin made and the DVD of Newsies -- nothing like a little Disney and dancing all in one.



I guess that if I have to be in my last year of my 2o's I started it right. My dad assures me that 29 is where everyone wants to stay. . . we will see.

Sorry, but Happy late Birthday! Let me know how 29 goes, because my birthday is next... I'm glad you have a blog, because I felt kind of out of place with all my "previously single" friends.

I miss visiting teaching too. They still haven't assigned me to anybody in my new ward yet... The next time I'm in Provo/Orem, we should have a visiting teaching reunion :D You are so fun.

Happy BIRTHDAY AMBER! I didn't know. Let's go out for lunch together, or a treat or dinner or something. Or come over and we'll attempt to make Schwaaaarrrmas or falafel (not to feel awful but to celebrate!)
Love you and congrats on amazing living!

Your dad really said that??! So I was thinking while I was hiking this weekend, I had no idea how old you were! I remembered Shawn telling me you were close to my age but you don't look like it at all. I think it's your expensive mascara. :) It makes you look so much younger! Haha, happy birthday

happy late birthday! I love how in the picture where you're opening presents your dad is totally focused on something else. I miss him. I want to see a picture of the nativity in Palestinian garb. I hope it was a fun day & I thought you were a beautiful ladybug
