things and more things, and, yep, you guessed it, even more things!

hi! today is my dad's 40th birthday!!!!! yayayayayay! lol. So, so far my day has gone like this.

7:45-wake up. got up to late to help decorate dad's chair. :( *
8:15- eat breakfast with my family. really yummy pancakes. yay!
8:30- Dad opens presents! he got (a) a picture from Ken. (b) a new and improved mouse trap (by my sister Christina) ** (c) a new Christmas coffee mug (from Christina) (d) a new popcorn popper (e) popcorn sprinkles (f) a bunch of popcorn.
8:35- went downstairs and got into swimsuit.
then I checked people's blogs, and decided to post.

*our tradition, is to decorate the birthday person's chair before they get up. this was started on one of my birthdays, which I couldn't have my party on my birthday. (it was the first one for me that I couldn't have the party, on my actuall birthday, so I was very upset.) so I got up, and my chair had balloons and streamers on it. that was one of my best birthdays ever.

** I am almost completely certain that Christina is destined to become an evil queen or something like that.
it was a plastic box, with PUSHPINS stuck into the bottom, and Chris is like, they step on the pins and DIE!!!
ahhhhhhhh, run run run run awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!
