My Birthday Weekend

Don’t you love it when you birthday falls on a weekend rather than a weekday? It just gives you the excuse to celebrate a little longer or in my case get pampered for as long as I can stretch it out!
I woke up to Jordyn singing Happy Birthday to me from her bed, she may be tiny and sweet but she has a set of pipes on her that could wake the dead! lol

The girls had the day planned out with some spa treatments…
Jordyn did my ~~fingers~~ nails

while Kailey gave me a pedi.

What is the perfect gift to go along with my nails???

A visit to The Coach Outlet of course! Hubby was suppose to be taking a pic of my new purse…oops! The girls and I could have stayed in there for hours!
What’s the best way to end your birthday weekend???

The cutest chocolate cupcakes made by the girls with dad!

Chocolate makes turning a year older that much easier!! Winking smile

Happy Monday, hope your week is off to a great start!

Playing Catch Up

We had an unexpected visitor at our house…

it wasn’t the guy with the long white beard and a cherry nose. It was more like the Grinch but only worse….much worse! He didn’t steal our Christmas but he did ruin a good portion of our vacation week. And for all of you parents or teachers out there you know that once one person has it, it spreads like wild fire. Just when you think it’s over you are suddenly awaken at night to the quick pitter patter of feet to the bathroom only to find out they didn’t quite make it that far! On the bright side, I have discovered that hubby is a fantastic housekeeper and I now have a pristine house to start the New Year!
Here’s a quick catch up of our Christmas!
Christmas Eve is always celebrated at our house with my side of the family. Although I took the night off from taking pics of the food, it is a tradition to have calzones from our local bakery, lots of easy finger foods and dips along with lots of sweet treats!
