Birthday Weekend IN PICTURES!

This weekend, the girls and I went on a little trip to relax, have fun, and celebrate my birthday! 

Here's a glimpse of the fun times had by all (4 of us):

Shopping till we dropped... onto comfortable chairs at Ikea!

Is that pandas I see?

Why yes! Those are pandas over Shanda's shoulder!

Starbucks and a book? Yes please!!!

... and maybe a nap!

Red cups make my heart happy!
And "STORIES ARE GIFTS TO SHARE"
Om. Yes! Clearly... they have heard me tell stories!

A teahouse....

... where we watched Sichuan Opera ... 

... and other entertaining things.

Another stop at the Bux?
Absolutely a must before heading back to NoSbuxville.

Cake! - Sent by Brit's mama.
Candles! - sent by my sweet friends!
