Birthday celebration

The birthday party yesterday was great.  It was just family and we had a great time eating tons of food (the lemon pasta recipe V gave me to make went over super well!), gorging on desserts, watching Ho-Ho open gifts, watching the kids run around playing, got a family picture (thanks, A!), and I especially loved spending time with my nephew S.  We spent the night in the nursery - E in the crib, and then the husband, myself, and L on two twin mattresses.  Well, it started out that way, but with L tossing and turning so much, I moved out to the couch in the living room.  It wasn't too shabby, and when I came in at 5:30am, E was awake (ARGH) and L was curled up next to the husband.  HA!  We went to dim sum this morning and it was delicious.  The drive home didn't go as planned - we had planned the girls to nap but they didn't, so I entertained them most of the way (and fought of car sickness), and then they napped at home.  Exhausted, but so glad to be home!

The entire family together (plus the dog!)

My lemon spaghetti dish - yum.
