At the party yesterday, I got a black table for my black and white room (my nightstand was two magenta milk crates glued together), a green bag, various clothing, and an iTunes gift card.
But I love how every year my grandparents find some weird way to disguise the money they give me. It's usually in some random kind of shoe box that's not my size, a tissue box, band-aids... a shampoo bottle. And this year was a Christmas light box.
Ha. That was my mom's side's party. And next month when I see my dad, he's having a party too. But they all get me gift cards for various bookstores. Which is good because until the next Harry Potter book comes out, I am sorely out of reading material.
A good birthday, overall. Thanks for all of your birthday greetings!
