Another year older...

My birthday was great but lets just say we are all happy I don't eat like this everyday. these past two weeks I have had at least six pieces of cake. And they weren't all small. Also not to mention two pieces of cake for someone else's birthday. Let's just say I will be happy not to see cake and eat it for a while. Also everyone was great to me here, I had a group of friends take me out for dinner and it was great, a ladies class that took me for lunch, the Pastor in Aikawa had me over to his house for dinner we played karuta and had a fun time, my Japanese parents had me over for yakiniku ( japanese bbq), and many other things it seemed like a long birthday, but it was weird not to have family around! I thank everyone here that made me so welcome over my birthday it really meant a lot. I also thank everyone for the cards and gifts from home it was good to hear from you and have a little bit of home come to me. here are a few pictures of the cakes I ate. of chourse I didn't eat any of the chocolate ones yuck, hehe!!!
