Birthday festivities...

I started the day off with some Christopher Elbow chocolates that my awesome boss gave me. The sea salt caramel, & green apple were divine!
And then we were off to Bella Nails for mani/pedis. Here's Mom waiting for her turn:
And Kristin, Mom & I enjoying the hot foot soak—and the massage chairs!
Decisions, decisions...
Just try to get a photo of the 3 of us where at least 1 of us isn't goofing off. I dare you!
My pretty toes! I should note that this was my first-ever pedicure, and I hadn't had a manicure since high school prom. I'd say it was about time.
After that, we had lunch next door at Pei Wei, and spent the afternoon running errands, with an obligatory stop at Polaris Fashion Mall to look for early bargains. Then I talked everyone into trying Korean BBQ at Kaya Restaurant on Reed Rd. Eric & Kelley instructed Mom on the finer points of chopstick use:
The feast! I swear there's nothing better than Kalbi beef wrapped in Romaine, and that delicious miso-y BBQ sauce. I love Korean BBQ for the numerous tiny side dishes (like bean sprouts, tofu, kimchi, and fish cakes) and because it's kinda fun to cook it yourself.
Mom, Henry, Kristin & Jeff:
Charlotte & me:
I hadn't seen Charlotte in a LONG time, so this was a rare treat!
