happies! (kiko, see below)

chocolate and fish oil. what more could a girl ask for?


absolutely beautiful gift and beautiful packing job by annie!
a book of essays by eb white (such an attractive cover too!)
and a special birthday mix with the most creative and pretty packaging job i've ever seen. the cd was inside this circle case with a pink ribbon coming through the middle hole.


the famous and oh-so-perfect-every-year birthday box from my daddy.

him.

this part is especially written for kiko:

well first of all, eric was waiting for me outside on a park bench when i got out of class this morning. that in itself was the best birthday present ever!

and then he whips out this little rectangular box all wrapped in funny thread and magazine paper and says it's my "first present". first? so i found this little green baby inside the wrapping and inside the box. SO wonderful and a really beautiful shade of green. i've been wanting some music for my morning rides and when i'm working on projects but i lost my old shuffle. the drone of traffic is nothing like music. AND the back is inscripted with lyrics from mine and his favorite song: 'anything to make you smile'

ah.

and then!! the second birthday gift. this one was all wrapped in trader joes brown bags and was waiting for me after my six hour long color theory class. eric drew each of these himself! and scraped paint off the frames and put a finish on them that makes it a really niice shade of brown. the drawings are really amazing.

brae and her fancy self took me and eric to a delicous japanese restruant for a some really yummy sushi and warm, steamed hand towells:)



my friends monica and jaeger from school even bought little pastries for me and we had a little party at 9 pm in the photo lounge before i headed home for the day.

really beautiful day from start to finish.
and now, i am 20.

Sweetness! Eric is so cool :)! He should give Vincent lessons....just kidding! Vincent gives great gifts - specifically for me. That's what I like about Eric's gifts to you, he's so thoughtful specifically for you. You can tell he buys gifts for you with just you in mind.

By the way - we missed throwing you a party this year ;).

kyrie,

this certainly sounds like a beautiful birthday! you've inspired me to write about my birthday now!

Ben surprised me with a little purple shuffle like that in our Easter basket! I love it so much! I tell people all the time that it is my favorite piece of technology! so pretty purple...and so totally practical and amazing!!

the box from your dad looks divine!
