Today is Rayna's birthday. I should just say my birthday since I am the one writing this. I had a really great day. My Mom and Grandma drove up from Florida last night so everyone was here to wish me happy birthday. I opened my presents in the morning, a netbook with an external DVD ROM to watch movies and things and a $25 iTunes gift card to buy whatever music and things I want which was really nice since I never feel like I have the money to buy the songs I want. I can finally retire the laptop that I have been using for the last six months with missing keys, a broken screen and a nonworking DVD drive. It will be nice to push the power button on my laptop and know for sure that it is going to actually turn on. Scott took the time before I even opened the laptop to take it out and connect it to our network and install iTunes and Office and other things on it, so nice. I also got a whisk and can opener from my Grandma and a tent from my Mom. I can't wait for the good Spring weather to come back so we can go camping, it's going to be so much fun. We had planned to go see Lovely Bones for my birthday but turns out is only opened in select cities on Dec. 11th (NOLA isn't one of them) and doesn't open nationally till Jan 6th so Scott and I went out to lunch instead at a place that is supposed to have great chicken wings but we had never been to before. It was all I had heard, really great food and nice atmosphere, we will definitely be back. Scott got a wonderfully decorated cake for my birthday so after we arrived back home from lunch we had cake with candles and everything. It was great. Chance sang Happy Birthday too and help blow out the candles. We mostly just hung out for the rest of the day and when Chance gave me a hug before he went to bed he said, Happy Birthday Mommy without any prompting which was so sweet.
