a really great day

I spent my birthday with my mom and Carter. We had a lot fun and managed to squeeze in many activities in 24 hours. Carter and I played outside, took a bike ride, enjoyed a game of Monopoly, and took pictures of his many crazy faces. My mom got me gifts from her recent trip to Martha's Vineyard, and Ivy made me a tote bag that will replace my other one that broke last month. In the evening, Tom made me a 3 course dinner: mussels in garlic butter sauce, a german-style main course with beef and dumplings in sauce, and chocolate pudding for dessert. It was delicious!
