My Birthday

Hello, Family!

I celebrated my birthday yesterday, February 25th. I am scrapping my pages now to put in my album, so you should be able to see them tonight.

I had a good birthday!

Juley got me lots of scrapbook supplies geared toward certain albums I have planned, like our recent family cruise vacation and my trip to Italy. Everything was perfect and I can't wait to get started using them, but she tells me I have to finish my current projects first! Older sisters are so bossy! But I forgive her. She also got me a way cool pocket cross.

Thanks, Jules, I love everything!

Robert got me a beautiful journal. I am almost ready for a new one, so again, the perfect gift! Rob also took me out to eat for my birthday. He's such a good nephew! (Are the rest of you paying attention? Rob is my new favorite!)

James is sending me a present but it hasn't gotten here yet. For those of you who don't know, James is working on Shemya, an island in the Aleutian chain off of Alaska. He is about 200 miles off the coast of Russia! So he has to shop online and have gifts delivered. Another good nephew; I think Rob will have to share his "Favorite" status with his brother.

I'm looking forward to my present, James!

Last night Robert came over and he and Juley made pizza. I didn't have to cook! Yay! Juley hates to cook, so I do the lion's share usually, so this was a real treat. After supper, Juley brought out the birthday cake--oops, I mean, birthday CHEESECAKE! Oh, Joy and Rapture!

I love, love, love cheesecake!

My family is just the best! Thanks for making my day so special.

Love you,
Ruth
