how are you celebrating your birthday this year:

i had eye doctor and dentist appointments this morning, i got my nails done, and tonight i have german class. exciting stuff. but after class i'll be doing cake and presents with mom, tap, and tucker. tomorrow i'll have dinner with dad, kate, tucker, and jackson; alex is already back in reno. and then hopefully celebrating with friends this weekend.
