Happy Birthday to Me!

Monday the 8th was my birthday and it was a really nice one! I feel like as I get a bit older, I really don't care about having a party or some amazing day. I just want a good meal (that I didn't have to cook), a few fun presents, phone calls from family and friends, and to not have to clean. My students were really cute in trying to be good for my birthday. When a kid would act up, about 5 others would yell, "HEY, BE QUIET! IT'S MRS. HARRIS'S BIRTHDAY!" Because, you know, that really helps. One mom even brought in a cake and flowers and I got a few other little gifts and cards from students. Chris and his parents took me out to a Japanese Hibachi place called Tokyo. It is sooo good! His mom also made me a cheesecake and banana bread. We came home and I opened presents. Chris had gotten me roses and gets extra points this year for my gift. I have to get the benefits from being married to a guy in the jewelry business right?

Chris got me this ring and it is awesome!

Here we are at Tokyo. (A thanks to my grandma who's birthday money paid for my new shirt!)

Me with my presents. I got some beautiful jewelry and stamps from my parents, a cool serving piece from my sister, some gift cards from Chris's parents (including to my fav. store, Banana Republic), and some great cards and spending money from grandparents. A huge thank you to everyone who made me feel loved on my birthday! Here are some cute cards I got from students. The first I thought was hilarious, and given to me by a student I had last year! Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to make them go the right way!
