*One apple, dijon, walnut salad

*Many lemon, ginger cupcakes from Martha's 

Everyday Food magazine (yummo!) with rainbow chip frosting (birthday boy's choice)

*A little Enya playing in the background (Meagan's addition)

*An exchange student from Taiwan

*A couple of laughs

*And a partridge in a pear tree (wait.. I'm getting ahead of myself)
