Dyna-mite!

Today is the birthday!
I have had such a wonderful weekend already and I just can't say enough about my crazy wonderful friends and my silly sneaky husband. They plotted and planned and made me laugh to no end. If any of you are reading today I want you to all know that is all of you that make me who I am- thank you!
Flowers from Hubby on Friday at work...
I had yoga all day so I was told to meet at Taste of Thai after class... Okay so I am here in a cute new skirt and top and just waiting.
Enter Hubby who can not stop giggling and looking out the window. I keep asking him what he is up to. He won't take off his jacket even though we have been seated (later he will reveal his shirt with Napoleon on it). In walks LR... In this! HA! Cat's outta the bag, side pony and all- then TB and KA walk in all "wigged" out.
It's a Napoleon party- boy are you guys Dynamite! ar, ar!
It just kept getting sillier, and they had me put my hair in a side pony and a "Vote for Pedro" shirt...
After a yummy dinner we all trucked over to TB's house to have a piece of cake that LR "built" for me.
I am still smiling.
Tonight my mom is having us over for cake. Hubby's fam will be there along with my god-parents. It will be really nice to see everyone. I have been so busy that we haven't gotten to be around all those people at once in a while.
Despite me telling people not to get me anything, they still did... Including a few knitting items, a couple of DVD's I have been wanting and a great book (Mutant Message from Down Under) that was brought up in yoga class that I want to read...
This morning I opened up a present from my Aunt.. LOVE THE BOOK Aunt J! It is not too "sophomore" but rather a perfect reference for me to have around... Oh and the year book is cracking me up too! Thank you !!

to all of you out there that have helped to make things so special, this is how I feel:

which brings me nicely into the next topic....
KNITTING!
Per request, here are some photos of the Mrs. Beeton thus far.... Enjoy!
