Birthday!

Somebody doesn't understand birthdays around here... Today is Chris's (or is it Chris' ?) birthday! The big 2-7.

This means that it is his day to get presents, his favorite dinner, etc. Last night he bought me a 13 cup Kitchenaid Food Processor in Empire Red. We've been looking at food processors for probably the last several months, and we finally found a good sale, and a coupon we could put on top of the sale price... and now all I have to do is wait until next week when the FedEx/UPS man delivers it to me!

Anyway... back to Chris's birthday. When the most recent iPad ("the new iPad") came out earlier this month he got one, so that's his real birthday gift, I just got a few small things to accompany it. He hasn't seen them yet, but I don't think he knows the url to my blog, so I'm safe posting these pictures here:

 I really wanted to get balloons. I first stopped at The Dollar Store and didn't like any of their balloons, so I headed to HEB. I had such a hard time picking. There was a princess one, a batman one, one with several superheroes. There were some fun ones that just said Happy Birthday. There were so many awesome choices, then I found this Spiderman one. It just spoke to me. Spiderman came home with me.

We have a free on-demand movie from AT&T, we don't know why we got it... but they mailed us a code apologizing (for what, we don't know, but we'll take a free movie!) so I got his favorite candies to eat while we watch our movie either tonight or tomorrow night. Lifesaver Gummies are his favorite, absolute favorite, and now they have an ORANGE gummy. Orange is his favorite color, so of course I picked the bag that has orange in it!

We're still working on finding an Orange Roll recipe to use for conference weekend, anyone have a good solution so I don't have to buy a tube of orange rolls?
