happy 35th to me

today i celebrated 35 wonderful years of life with my wonderful family. ani gave me the first gift of the day by giving me a good night's rest. technically, adam gave the first gift on thursday when he gave an ipad. it's so fun, but i have to share it with nissa. adam got up and went straight to work on a birthday cake with nissa's help. by her insistance, they made a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting and vanilla pudding inside. adam added cherries to the pudding, just to mix things up a bit. it was decorated with purple frosting and lots of sprinkles. it looked great and tasted great too. last, but not least, armin and annette gave us the gift of a home-made armenian feast with ismir kefta, pilaf and green beans. fantastic!

we are so grateful to our friends for a baby swing. Not only does ani like it, but the box makes an excellent play fridge for nissa.

Mom, it's stinky. Yes dear, it's because we are in indiana.
