My night in photos

The Cake:

(The candles are supposed to make a "39".  Lame, right?  I tried.)

The Meatloaf:

(I assume it's edible.)

And, finally, The Christmas Tree...or what's passing for one in our home this year:

(This is our "love tree".  It's a hibiscus that Jimi bought me 3 years ago.  It was half-dead and only cost $5.  It's very happy these days.  You can't see it, but there's a huge bloom on the very top.  It's acting as our angel.  Until it wilts and falls off tomorrow, at least.)
