G's B-day

I love celebration and tradition. That is one reason why my birthday officially begins on April 1st and continues until I'm done celebrating it (somewhere around the third week in April). Unofficially, my birthday begins with the first inklings of spring and may or may not involve a compound Easter celebration. This year, spring, Easter, and April all came at once and melded into a fabulous few weeks of food, cards, gifts, warm wishes, and pastel colored eggs. You've already seen pictures from our BBQ celebration. Here are some pictures from our impromptu gift-opening ceremony- be warned, this was in the midst of a homework session so I don't look so fancy.

The official b-day will pass quietly, but I'm hoping to squeeze in a trip to the Pittsburgh zoo sometime this month...
