This year, not unlike most of the others, I celebrated my birthday over about a 2 week period. It started with a surprise cake from my family the night before and led into breakfast the day of. A group of my friends got together during the week for dinner and drinks then came the joint birthday weekend celebrations with Vicky. We made raspberry cupcakes with lemon buttercream frosting and chocolate cupcakes with chocolate cream cheese frosting for the BBQ that we had. I was too busy eating the cupcakes to take a picture so I owe a big thanks to Todd who got this photo of our creations.
