18 and getting Meaner :)

So, I totally just dominated on the Scrabble board. Just sayin'. Poor Mom...

Our completed game - we used all the letters except for the Z which, as you can see, is vert lonely off to the side there...

Yes, Nebule is a word. :)

It was a really close game, really - I just kept maneuvering the triple/double-word/letter-scores  :)

I'm getting really excited about eating the Gingerbread cake that Mom made for me today - it's got powdered sugar and crushed candy cane on top. Yum!!!

And there's this super-thrilling-suspenseful-huge pile of presents on the table that have been tormenting me all day...

PLUS we are having pizza :) With both kinds of olives, onions, peppers...pepperoni...I'm blissed!!!

But first, we are having chocolate soy/dark chocolate syrup lattes.

It's official.

I love birthdays!!!
