Happy Birthday to me!

This year's birthday celebration began yesterday with Angela, my favorite co-tutor, bringing me an upgrade on my traditional birthday sandwich!  For the past two years, she's brought me my "birthday PB&J" because she knows I don't get them at home.  This year she raised the bar with a whole wheat bagel from the St. Paul Bagelry with freshly ground almond butter and jelly!  Delicious doesn't even begin to describe it!

Next up, one of our fourth graders (if I got to pick favorites, it would be her!) brought me a gift bag with two home-made brownies that she had made herself ("My mom watched me to make sure I did it right, but I got all of the ingredients out and put it all together.  I even put sprinkles on top!").  They were heart-shaped, on a happy birthday plate, with a birthday candle and a birthday card.  And they were amazing!

Just when you think your taste buds couldn't get any happier, Micah got up this morning and went out to the garage and came in with a Target bag.  "Happy Birthday, Mom!"  She created this little masterpiece at work yesterday and I didn't share.

In case you haven't heard, she's now a baker at Eidelweiss Bakery in Prior Lake.  She was hired the second day of her externship there last fall and she's loving it - even when she starts at 4:30 a.m.
