Mom's Visit: Birthday fun!

It was so much fun having my mom with me on my birthday this year! We finished putting up the Christmas decorations, then went to the Temple. It was nice to get to introduce her to some of the people I work with there. When we were coming out, the Christmas lights all turned on.
It was a little startling, but very pretty!


We did a little birthday shopping, then picked up some Chinese take-out from China Taste, and come Great Wall of Chocolate cake from P.F. Chang's. Yum!
We had to get proof of mom actually eating real Chinese food. Then we got laughing about something and Nick' snapped a shot that captures just how alike my mom and I are.



I got some great birthday presents this year.

My reaction to the biggest present $100 iTunes card! SWEET!


Then it was time to head back over to the Temple for their first night of Christmas lights. Yup, they turned them on special for my birthday ;)




Finally, it was time for cake and a Christmas movie.
The perfect birthday!
