February 9th

I turned 29 yesterday.

It was a fabulous birthday! It was celebrated 3 days in a row. Who could complain with that!?

Tuesday was shopping and lunch with my mom. Honestly, it was one of the most fun days I have had in a long time. It helps that we spent well over an hour in JCrew. And, my girls were angels. I had never taken Lilly to the mall. Isn't that pathetic?! She has been before, but it has been a while, and pretty sure she was strapped down in a stroller. Anyway, she loved it. Why didn't I think to take her there during the freezing cold, boring, stay-at-home-with-nothing-to-do days? Duh. She also loved being in the dressing room with me while I tried on all my clothes. She thought she would get undressed too. Cute little bug. Then we all headed to lunch. I am telling you, it was a fun day. Thank you so much mom!

Wednesday was my actual birthday. Nothing too special about the day. I spent some time at Costco getting the tires on my car balanced and rotated, and eating hot dogs with Lilly....if that doesn't sound like fun, I don't know what does! But hey, while I was there, I bought my own birthday cake! Success! We did go out later for a really fun dinner with just our little family. Then, we came home and Lilly was dying for some cake. Anton bought me my very favorite treat in the whole world....Chocolate Covered Strawberries from Cummings. So, I opted out of birthday cake and polished off those lovely strawberries. Yum!

Today, Thursday, my siblings and Dad took me out to lunch. It was so much fun, as always! My brothers know how to make us laugh, that is for sure!

I received so many notes, emails, texts, visits, gifts etc. from so many of you. So, thank you. You helped make my day so special.I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends, and family. 

Happy Birthday to me! 
Judging by the look on her face, I think she was a little excited to finally get her hands on that birthday cake. Squirt!

Happy Happy Birthday you ol' geezer. I am so glad you enjoyed yourself on your special day. That is how it should be. I feel like we should celebrate one huge 30th birthday bash for all of us next year. We can all get crazy and drink tons of lemonade. I am certain Leslie's buns would be shown sometime during that event as well.

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday. I think it's safe to say Lilly is a fan of birthday cake!

Happy Belated Birthday Liz! It sounds like you had a wonderful 3 days....what more could a girl ask for?! I love the part of you going to Costco, doing our errand, having lunch and getting a cake. What Mom hasn't done that right? Anyway, happy birthday and I'm happy it was a nice long celebration for you. ;)
