a snowy white birthday.

It was my birthday today - well, it still is, I suppose. Ryan woke me up early, so I'm pretty tired, so I guess I'll just recount the day through pictures (on my new camera I got for Christmas!):

First, we got up and I got a birthday back massage (no picture). Then, once we were ready, we were off!

It had already snowed about 2 inches by this time.

Then we went to Pier One for these beautiful place settings:

On to the mall!:

safety first — we sanitized our hands.

After shopping, we needed sugar:

Red Robin for a early dinner/late lunch.

And then to the movies - Sherlock Holmes!

waiting for the movie to start.

And that was pretty much it. I also got this purse while in Topeka.

It may not match our couch, but it's still pretty. I'm too tired for any more blogging, but I'll write more soon about my Christmas and the tragedy that followed soon after. Night!
