Ben and the boys did their best to give me a special day even though we couldn&#8217;t go out anywhere like we usually would.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t take many pictures.   It was a very nice, relaxing day.  I slept in, and then was greeted with cheers and a banner and a giant pile of presents.  I was spoiled by all my family this year, with lots of crafting things, baking supplies, and beautiful things to wear.  I had pleasant video calls with the Waterhouses and the Masons, and even my German penpal living in Tianjin!  I received many birthday greetings by text message and a couple quick porch visits from friends bearings gifts.  I truly felt loved!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My one plan for the day was to indulge in lunch alone.  I listened to a podcast on the drive down to Shake Shack and had lunch by myself in my car. Ahhh.  For dinner we had Thai take-out and watched Paddington 2.  I baked myself a strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting.  We were surprised when snow started to fall, making a beautiful, cozy end to a wonderful day.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
