Celebrating Corinne's Birthday

We celebrated Corinne's birthday on February 1st. We were joined by Ashley and by Corinne's friend, Tres. For dinner, we had chicken pillows, which were delicious. Then it was time to open presents:


Julie found a creative use for old Bisquick and Wheaties boxes, so that Corinne had no idea what was underneath the wrapping paper:











Inside each box was a smaller present, of course, including volume 2 of the Glee soundtrack:

After all the presents were unwrapped, we enjoyed a cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory, split 5 ways (one for each of us):

Although the dinner, presents and cheesecake all were enjoyable, the highlight of the evening was our special guest, who graciously agreed to pose for a photo with Corinne:
