Holy Moses it's Nikki's Birthday!

This blog is titled in honor of the phrase Nikki says when she is shocked by something. A fitting title as we celebrated her birthday at the Cheesecake Factory tonight.

And, one of the coolest gifts I have ever seen. Nikki's parent's insurance company had this hand painted plate made for her shortly after she was born.

Yes, this is a realistic recreation of how she was born.



Happy birthday, Nikki!
