Birthday Thanks

Just thought I'd let you all know how much I appreciate all the great birthday wishes last week. I had a great birthday and 5 birthday dinners! I also appreciated the birthday cards and e-cards...like the Hoops and YoYo one below:

Friday night, we went to have dinner with our parents at Outback Steakhouse.

They got me my favorite chocolate dobash cake from King's Hawaiian. Joanne also got me a balloon...which says a lot since she's not a big fan of the balloons (nor does Buster).

On Saturday, we went to the Yard House to celebrate two birthdays...Shuji's and mine.

I had the pleasure of enjoying 2 half-yards of beer: one Lost Coast Downtown Brown and one Fat Tire. Apparently, they no longer serve whole yards of beer. I guess too many people were breaking those extremely cumbersome glasses. Anyway, at the Yard House, 2 half-yards (32 oz each) is more than a yard (48 oz).

Back at the house, Lori made Shuji and I an awesome birthday cake!

I'll be putting all the birthday gifts together to get myself a new camcorder (just for baby).
