19!

Hello, Folks!

It's official! I am now the oldest I have ever been in my life so far! *grin*

On Monday morning when I came down from my upstairs room, a group of family and a few friends started singing Happy Birthday..... (their mission, of course, is no different than usual: Embarrass Rachel! :p )

When they finished I started walking away..... and was instantly grabbed for the tradition- birthday spankings! haha- All 19 of them! :D

It was a pretty quiet day, we stayed around the house, went for a swim at grandpa's, and then played some games in the evening.

The funniest part of the day was in the evening when my older sister, Laura, came home from work.
I was playing Risk with a few siblings and a family friend, when my sister came in with my "present". The box was a Tom's Shoes box.......everyone knows how much I don't-like Tom's shoes! So she walks in with the box saying "Do you want your birthday present Rachel? Here...I know you don't like Tom's shoes, but I thought maybe if you actually try them, you will like them!"

I groaned.

TOM'S SHOES!? For ME, to WEAR?!

No, I couldn't. Please not!

But, I opened the box anyway, to see what they looked like.

And Lo and Behold!

The trickster! She hid my real present in the box!

A CAMERA!!! I was surprised, to say the least! I didn't even think that she might use the shoe box as a gift box!

So, no Tom's shoes for me, but now I can photograph HER shoes with my new Nikon camera!

Thanks, Laura!! :) 

PS: I'll be posting some pictures later on of the Zoo and birthday! And on Saturday we're off to the beach for a BBQ to celebrate my 19 years officially!
