So You Say it's Not Your Birthday

I saw this idea on another blog and even though it isn't my birthday I still wanted to do it.

On the subject of birthdays, this morning Kendall and I were snuggling in bed and I asked her what kind of birthday party she wanted and she said, "hmmmm, probably cheese". Ha, after further discussion we decided on a 'picnic party' but maybe we'll have to have some cheese there too.
