Saturday night I had a small gathering of friends to celebrate my birthday. I asked everyone to bring something chocolate (there is now more chocolate in the house than I can eat in a year!). Among the goodies was this chocolate bunny, which I had for dessert today. Seems appropriate for an Easter birthday.
I came into my office today to discover that someone had put party hats and singing speech balloons on the various toys that live on my desk. A delightful pre-birthday surprise. Scroll down to see the rest of them.
