Happy Birthday

Today was my sweetie's 33rd birthday. Here he is right after dinner, before we had birthday cake.

Marty had a good birthday. He had the fun of putting together this birdhouse that his dad sent, and he got some other nice presents too. A Billy Joel CD, some historic airplane xmas ornaments, a few DVDs, and a very bright work light for projects in our very dark house.

For dinner we had leftover turkey baked into enchiladas -- Marty's mom's recipe -- and they were great. I love this recipe for leftover turkey. Then it was time for ice cream and cake. I had made a chocolate cake with chocolate icing, with chopped pecans pressed on the sides. Then I put little pink and white hearts on top (since I couldn't locate any birthday candles in the house) and it was very festive.

Tomorrow we are going with Marty's mom and stepfather into New York to see The Music Man on Broadway. I can't wait. It's one of my favorite musicals, and Robert Sean Leonard is playing the lead role of Harold Hill at the moment. He's an actor I like very much, so it will be pretty cool to see him perform in person.
