Pics from birthday and 2011

I'm now 33! I had a great birthday - starting off with eggs and toast in bed! The kids were even nice to me today & it was not a stressful teaching day. After a relaxing afternoon at home we went out to eat with Simon and Katherine Miller who are also expecting their first child this year (due in July). So this was our last outing of "four".

Here are a few pictures from my birthday dinner, as well as a couple of pics from earlier in the year while I wasn't feeling good enough to do much blogging...

Here is the first outfit we have received. It is apparently not the first one purchased, but those are in MS with my family :-)

A top view of my birthday cake.

Side view of the cake - it was DELICIOUS!!

Mark was not impressed that I was eating part of his dessert!

My birthday flowers.

Our North American girls' night in May.

This is Kelly, Chris, me, and Dawn. Each of us has married a South African & live here. We decided to have a "free the captives" weekend where we went to Kelly's house while her husband, Chris, was out of town. We watched the royal wedding, went out to dinner, and had A&W root beer floats for dessert. Dawn had found out that she is pregnant with their third child earlier that week :-)

Apparently non-alcoholic grape juice also bubbles over!

Girls' Cricket

Me and Alison - she was the captain of our Girls' Cricket team this year and was lovely to be around!

Here is Hannah - my partner-in-crime, my confidante, my friend who also loves Dr Pepper. She lived in New York for a year being an au paire after she finished high school. We have lots of fun together!
