Birthday Celebrations

On Saturday we went to Navy Pier with Keith's family to celebrate both of our birthdays.  Keith, his mom and I rode the Ferris Wheel.  I was looking forward to it because when we went in the winter it was not running due to rain.

We also took an architectural boat tour, which was very very good.  I recommend it.

On Sunday, my actual birthday, we celebrated by going paddle boating at Independence Grove with my mom & sister.  After that, we went out for Thai food for lunch.  Mmmm.

Then I opened presents from Keith.  One was wrapped in our monster bag.  I pointed the bag out to Keith at the store once, about 4 years ago.  He ended up using it to wrap my gift in, and we have been wrapping each other's gifts with it ever since.  

One of those packages contained SingStar for the PS3, which is what I have been spending my free time on ever since.

I had a very wonderful birthday.  It was a fantastic way to kick off this 25th year!
