The time right after Christmas includes my wedding anniversary and my birthday which I share with my son. This year we turned 14 and 43. Ouch. Although, I must say, 43 isn't that much worse a number than 42, so I can deal. It's a lot of celebrating, though, and we generally 'opt out' of a big shindig. My son and I, we're anti-birthday. It's just too close to Christmas, and we enjoy being grouchy about it.
Here we are, about to blow out the candles on our cake, which my daughter kindly baked. (I'm posting this picture, if only to prove that I don't have two noses and three arms, although a third arm could come in handy around here on certain days).
I had to suspend the grouch routine in order to laugh at my son. He has a great sense of humour. I must say, though, I'm glad all the celebrating is over, and I'm looking forward to getting back to a (somewhat) peaceful routine.
Birthdays. Harrumph.

Uh ha, birthdays grump, Uh ha!
Well Happy Birthday to both of you anyways! LOL. And Happy Anniversary.
What beautiful roses you have there, great shots of them also. I love that color, it looks like they have been dusted with icing sugar.
"43" is not that bad, been there, done that.

Happy Birthday, groucho! I love the roses - and especially the last shot of the vase!
It IS tough to share your birthday with a holiday. Had a son on Dec 26. He always felt cheated so we celbrated again in June. Happy Birthday, anyway. PS sort of new to your blog. Would like to see more of what is under that beautiful brown and white hide.
Oh my God. YOU'RE PRETTY TOO. It's all TOO MUCH!
Happy birthday, dear Hayseed. Hope you and your boy had a fabulous day being grouchy.
Just so you do realize that the snow post is all, honestly, well mostly, well kind of..... tongue in cheek.

ha, my dad's birthday is Jan 4! He just turned 66. He's his usual mellow self about it, nothing to get flustered about.
THis is a weird time of year, isn't it?
You and your boy are both quite adorable, I gotta say! Happy birthday and happy new year!
Happy Birthday Hayseed! I think that is cool that you had your son on your birthday...

Happy Happy Birthday. The roses are lovely. And the shot of the vase is unique.
