| My mom's side of the family has five birthdays that happen between May 31 (my sister) and July 6 (mine), so we usually celebrate all five at the same time. This past weekend we celebrated for this year. My cousin Dan came down late Friday night & crashed on our couch, then Saturday morning my sister, he, and I went surfing. Waves weren't great, and the break wasn't either (I didn't catch a single wave) but it was fun to get out. We came back, showered (and in my case, shaved) and then drove down to Rancho Santa Fe (where my grandparents live). There we hung out around the pool, played some awesome games of water volleyball (a family favorite), and had an excellent dinner. My sister's boyfriend, TJ, also came along.

After dinner we went outside & tried out the light up frisbee; my uncle shot some pretty good photos, I'll post them soon. A very fun day. The next day (Sunday) we were trying to figure out something suitable birthday like to do (since we hadn't celebrated much on my real birthday, or the weekend after it).

Both were so that I could show them to my family. So we decided to stay in and just watch movies & relax.It was a very fun, relaxing day. We watched Shaolin Soccer first, and they enjoyed that. Then we had lunch and did some stuff around the house, then started watching Love Actually. My family loved it! They also said that they thought it'd be a fun Christmas tradition to watch that movie "assuming someone gets it on DVD" (I hadn't gotten that gift yet, though I did end up getting it, see below). Heh. All in all, a very fun way to spend the day. My gifts were:
