You KNOW it's a good birthday when it begins with a Rick's Bakery birthday cake! Isn't this the prettiest cake you've ever seen? I sure wish I could share some of it with you...but, sadly, it's all gone now. I really would share if I still had some! The frosting was just divine...
And a birthday with my mom's lasagna? Even BETTER! Every year my mom asks what I'd like for her to cook for my birthday meal...and every year I say, "Lasagna!" Oh, it was dee-licious! Sadly, it's already gone, too...
Check out this place setting! Doesn't it just look HAPPY? It sure made this birthday girl HAPPY! *smile* I even got the "You are special" plate!
Oh, and just so you know--that's my sister's famous sweet tea in the cup there. Perfection!
Oopsie! There's the "After" picture. Not a crumb or morsel left... Must be time for DESSERT! Hurry up and sing--I'm ready for some CAKE!!!
The meal got a thumbs up from the kids! Aren't they cutie pies?
Then, after all of that FUN family celebrating, I had a girls' night out this weekend! We ate some yummy Mexican food (can we say chips and salsa??), giggled a LOT, and saw The Vow. I LOVED that The Vow is loosely based on a true story. I won't give anything away...in case you're planning on seeing it. I will say that I give it a thumbs up!
This gift made me GIGGLE the most!! This is a t-shirt my sister and brother gave me--isn't it GREAT?!!! The funny part was that Rebecca REALLY DID make my breakfast (after I got to sleep late!) AND she made my lunch, too!
My birthday...week...was really great. I felt loved the whole week long! Thank you--for those of you who sent fun messages and e-mails.
It's kind of nice every-once-in-a-while to have a special day.
What's your favorite birthday tradition?
