Birthday Shenanigans

Last week's birthday was super fun. I got up in the morning, had some coffee in bed courtesy of Alison, opened some presents, and slowly got up. Then we went down to the Good Food Emporium for brunch with Kristina & Ron, Angie & Cliff, Meg & KC & Evan, and Johanna. Mimi and Mike showed up a bit later too, but there was no room for them at our already very cramped table, and Mike wasn't feeling well anyway, so it was regrets only from them. Mimi did take some photos of us through the aquarium, though. They ended up not much weirder than the others we took that day — I think our camera's been going a bit bonkers since the day Alison flew over the handlebars while trying to take my picture from her bike.






Brunch was excellent as always, and our favourite waitress didn't even bat an eye at the ridiculous number of people around the table. Afterwards, completely wired on coffee, six of us went for some afternoon bowling at the Bayers Road Shopping Centre (More then [sic] just a game...). Scores varied widely. Everyone felt they didn't live up to their bowling potential. For some reason, Alison and I kept ending up tied. The jokey old guy behind the counter was the same one we'd had last time, and he pulled the same jokes. He also cut us a deal like last time.






After bowling, Johanna came back to our place for some birthday carrot cake, which Alison had thoughtfully decorated à la Cake Wrecks.



So far, this year's promising to be a pretty great one.
