As all of you have guessed, Sunday was my birthday. They changed our fast Sunday to this last week, so it fell on the day of my birthday. And I didn't notice that it was until I had asked what was for breakfast... then I remembered last weeks' announcement. The tradition of Birthdays in Young Women's is for one of the leaders to make a cake and stop by with the young women and sing to them. They didn't come before church, so they just brought the cake TO church during Young Women's. I held the cake most of the time and everyone wanted to hold it, (hmm, I wonder why...) I left it in the hands of a leader that sat next to me, so I could write stuff down on a paper handout. (the lesson was temple marriage, and we wrote down qualities we wanted our future husbands to have.) It was hard to hold the cake and not lick the frosting off or eat the m&ms that were on it. It looked so cute too!
For dinner, after we had broken our fast, my mom transported me into my brothers room. I knew something was up, because my mom was standing in the hallway watching me... Anyway, after I went to sit down, my dad held the plate over my head. We had Lasagna the night before and they told me we were having leftovers. As my dad held the plate over my head I thought either he was going to dump it on me, or that wasn't lasagna. He fortunately didn't dump it on me and it turned out to be Panda Express they had bought the night before. (Yummy!) After that, my grandparents and my uncle's came over from next door, and brought me gifts. I got new clothes, and porcelain doll. From my family I got a beanbag, toe pads for ballet, and The Chronicles of Narnia (1st) movie songbook (there are two versions, the songs that inspired the movie, and the songs that were in the movie along with the songs sung in the credits). For dessert, I had my cake form YW's and Cheescake with cherry and rasberry topping. It was really good!
At seminary today, they sang to me and gave me a little card with a caramel apple sucker (My Fav! How did they know?). Well, thats all the exciting events this week.
