A Special Day
November 1, 2009 at 1:13 pm , by Emily
Surrounded by the people I love helping me celebrate being firmly entrenched in my thirties, Friday was fabulous. Thank you for the birthday wishes!
The kids were off school. We went to a costume party. We ate a lot of cake with friends. My mom took me to lunch and out shopping for new sheets. I guess I am getting old and practical when that’s all I can think of when she asks what I want for my birthday.
The kids helped me make and frost a lot of cake
Flowers from a friend
A cookbook (who am I kidding – THE cookbook!) and a photo book (my sister-in-law dug through 4 years of photos on my family blog, saved them to her computer, uploaded them to shutterfly and printed me a book. Talk about an awesome gift!!)
A Lisa Leonard necklace that I got for myself. 
And dinner on the water with people I love
Things that make my heart smile, make my home more cozy, and are part of making more beautiful memories.
I hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

What a wonderful birthday! I love that necklace…I wish I had one!!
You got some great gifts there. I seriously need new sheets too. Now I know what to ask for on my birthday (but I’ll have to wait a couple of months!
Happy happy birthday to you! Sorry I missed it, we were having a party at our house and I was away from the internet most of the day!

It my first time visiting your blog, but I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. I know it’s past and I’m late, but better late than never I guess. Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday!

Your book is gorgeous and I thought I was getting THE cookbook for my birthday, too, but didn’t. It’s totally fine to buy it for myself, right?! : )
