Happy Birthday!! I celebrated my 39th birthday (for the 2nd time) on Friday.
DH surprised me by flying my mom down to take care of DD and then whisked me
away to Galveston to stay at a very nice hotel overnight.

YUM!! What a spread!

We kept things simple (as we're trying to do more and more around here) and
had lemon-tarragon chicken, brown rice pilaf, and salad with spinach,
tomatoes, avocadoes, artichoke hearts, and capers. Dessert was Rice Krispies
treats and goodies from the giant Godiva basket DH got me.
