1/2 Birthday and Coffee Beans

Yesterday (the 19th) was my half birthday.  I hadn't thought about it until we were all together last night and my dad brought out this:

He got me 1/2 a cake, plate, cup and napkin.  He had cut everything in half, and even lit only half the candles on the cake.  My parents did this once before when I was a teenager, and it was so special to have them think of me & do this fun thing!  I have a great family :o)  I had to get some family pictures to remember the day.

Last night I also made (or attempted to make) chocolate covered espresso beans.  Bobby had freshly roasted the beans only hours before, and I put them in a pot with melted chocolate.  It worked well, and the left over chocolate tasted AWESOME, so I figured I was good to go.  We had planned to give it out as Christmas gifts, but Bobby tried one and said that it needed a lot more chocolate.  So, hopefully I can fix it tomorrow before we give out our gifts!  The looked cool, though, and smelled SOO delicious.
