Last week was my birthday week... yes, week.
Fine, it was only one day, evening really, almost midnight. My mom was not in labor for 168 hours, BUT we celebrated multiple times. (for her, she was probably celebrating that she wasn’t in labor for 168 hours!) Since, I share my birthday week with my brother, who’s birthday is 3 days before mine - the celebrations just kept coming! And, in all we picked our favorite things to do, no matter how fancy or typical it was
Sunday night was spent gorging ourselves on five guys, who cares that the closest one is fifteen minutes away. Throughout the week came many fun ways to show that our family enjoyed our existence. Coffee date with mom, and a little light shopping, some board-game-playing. My grandmom (known to us as mimi) came to visit and brought two birthday homemade pies. Blueberry and peach. They made a great dessert... and breakfast.
For the weekend, friday night Samuel had some of his friends over and mom made her amazing homemade pizza. We also celebrated his birth with ice cream cake. Saturday was my day. We celebrated by making excellent home made cheesy chowder, drank some more than welcome Sam Adams Octoberfest and had the ultimate of all ultimates - the best chocolate cake you have ever had in your life!

Gifts from my favorite family? Well, this year is definitely the year of the shoes, and I am in NO WAY complaining!
Banana Republic riding boots, London Fog Rain Boots, & Minnetonka Moccasins.
I’m in love with these shoes. And my final b-day dinner. And my family.
