A Word from Mommy...

Just wanted to share some highlights from my special day. James surprised me with special t-shirts for the whole family - "Birthday Girl" for me, "Happy Birthday Mommy!" for Owen, and "Worlds Best Husband" for him. It was a fun way to celebrate together, even though I'm not much for bringing attention to the fact that I'm getting as old as I am!

My birthday celebration included scrumptious cupcakes from Happy Cakes (Mexican Chocolate for me and Apple Crisp for James), coffee at Common Grounds, and a little shopping (for Owen, of course!) at Real Baby in one of my favorite neighborhoods, the Highlands. We then spent our evening grilling hamburgers and veggies (although overcast, it was still a beautiful day!), and then enjoyed bathtime and bedtime with the little man. The day was completed with a friendly game of Qwirkle, which I appropriately won! All-in-all, the perfect birthday.

I may only wear it once a year, but it's still cute!
Too bad Owen will never be able to wear his again...
it will be far too small next year!

Trying to capture that perfectly posed picture...will it ever happen again?

Watching the world go by, the dogs play, and daddy grill...
all while figuring out what the screen is in front of him.

Some of the most delicious and decadent cupcakes!!

Thanks to my boys for such a great day!
