Well, the birthday weekend was fabulous.  I don't think I have ever celebrated any other birthday so thoroughly as 26.  Johnny took me to a fabulous little restaurant in downtown Louisville called Artemesia.  We sat outside on the patio and the outdoor space-heaters and fireplace kept us warm on the 30 degree night.  A jazz trio played and white Christmas lights gave a warm glow to the tree and garland. We finished off the night with my favorite...fun-fetti cake with strawberry icing...Johnny's very first attempt at baking was a great success. Saturday we celebrated in Lanesville.  It was so wonderful to have everyone there...except for Megan and Bob who we can't WAIT to see in a couple of days.  Renee and Mom made a fabulous veggie lasagna and caesar salad.  Cake: yellow with chocolate icing....had to change it up for all of the cakes this weekend.  Very good too.  The night was complete with a wood-burning fire.  Sunday, we went to the Brinkworth's house and Grannie and Grampies came too. Margaret made a great dinner and a homemade, out of this world, cheesecake. 

Must head to the gym soon.

Oh, and if I wasn't deserted out enough this weekend, my supervisor at work brought in a german-chocolate cake today for a belated-birthday gift. 

Christmas cookies ahead...yay for sugar:)
