around here, birthdays never last just a day.

last thursday was gordon's birthday.  he's a quarter of a century.  we celebrated all week long.


sunday: my family's sunday dinner, gordon's birthday dinner.  complete with french dips and twice baked potatoes.  and a salad of course.  and it wouldn't have been a birthday without homemade ice cream.  white oreos in vanilla ice cream...just the way gordon requested it.







thursday: his actual birthday.  went to dinner at ogden pizzeria, his choice, then hung out the rest of the evening.


friday: snowboarding at powder mountain.  this was the first time i had been all season.  gordon said it was one of the best days of season.  i couldn't have agreed more.  i'm usually a fair weathered boarder, but the snow that was falling was powder.  i've never boarded in anything like it.  it changed me forever.  oh, and i've improved significantly from last year.  one of these days i'm gonna keep up with gordon.  i've just gotta let go of my fear to fly down the mountain.












saturday: my dad threw gordon a birthday party.  we karaoked, which is something gordon doesn't really do, but he surprised us all and sang!  i have photos to prove it, but they will never appear on this blog.  i promised him they wouldn't.  dang promises.





and sunday: gordon's family birthday dinner.  his sister, melanie, cooked up a delicious indian entree.  we loved it!  and we had ice cream cake.  pretty much every year of his life he has had ice cream cake.  this year was no exception.  my favorite part of the day was when the little man sang happy birthday to gordon.  he had been practicing.  it was the sweetest happy birthday song my ears have ever heard.
