Birthday Celebrations

So I had a wonderful birthday weekend last weekend. My mom came in last thursday for my bday and stayed til yesterday. I had an absolutely wonderful time with her, wish she lived closer. We went out to many of the cool austin places to dine, chuy's, Juan in a Million, Rudys, etc.. Saturday a few of us went to the melting pot. That was really fun. I love dipping. I could have eaten chocolate fondue all night. yum. Sunday evening I had a little bigger bday celebration over at the Kobes. There was a bunch of adults and a ton of kids - none older than 4. :0) Mom and I had made about 60 cupcakes for the celebration with pink and purple sprinkles and everything! Those were grande indeed. It was a loosely Strawberry Shortcake themed party and Jeff docorated with Strawberry Shortcake balloons and lots of pink streamers. Was way fun. Then tuesday I went in for hand surgery. I had a 7am surgery appointment so I had to get there at 6 am. They put my IV's in, rolled me into the operating room and I promptly fell asleep before I even had any meds! I woke up in recovery kindof out of it and slept most of the day. Mom made me apple pancakes which were very yummy. And we watched a movie. So overall it was a good birthday weekend, the surgery went fine, and mom made it back to Virginia yesterday sucessfully. Good stuff.
