John's 50th Birthday

Today was John's official birthday. He opened his presents after work. His brother Ralph kept asking us what John liked and we said "nuts" (because truly, if you have almonds or cashews or peanuts around the house and a chocolate candy bar, he will always go for the nuts. Also, if we make brownies or cookies or zuchinni bread = must include chopped nuts.) With that in mind John got a large box from Ralph. He opened it and pulled out.... NUTS. Almonds, peanuts, cashews, mixed nuts...quite an assortment.

He opened the next box from Ralph. Nice!! A blu-ray player!!

He then opened the gifts from us. The John Carter novel, his annual Star Trek Christmas ornament from Hallmark, some ear buds and a Star Trek pez dispenser.

About this time I started getting the dessert & birthday candles ready so Audrey thought it would be fun to hook the blu-ray player to the TV. She opened the box and then called John back downstairs... hah, hah, more nuts!

We did not want to have too much dessert since it was just the three of us so we stopped by Just American Desserts and bought three single desserts. John's was a berry cheesecake. Happy 50th Birthday John!!
