Another wonderful birthday celebration. Last year I celebrated Christmas and my birthday with family at home, this year we went out for dinner. First, let me show you the gifts! 😆

Q: What’s the best birthday gift you’ve ever received?
Glad you had a FANATSTIC birthday!! I can’t believe all of those cakes, I guess it’s pretty obvious you are a Foodie 🙂 The one cake you took a picture of looks amazing, I can’t believe it. Also, all the food looks so good. I love the shot of the salad dressing being poured, I need to learn how to take good pictures like that. The grilled octopus and the chicken feet look interesting….As gross as they sound, they actually look really tasty.
I can’t believe Star got you a new laptop!! And PINK?! Very cool. Glad you had a wonderful day. Enjoy the end of your weekend!
