I love birthdays because it's an excuse to celebrate with the people you love the most and eat whatever food you please. And this weekend, my mom, sister, Pete, and I did just that. We ate from Friday morning until Saturday night. And we relaxed, watched movies, played games, and put a puzzle together. Turning 23 was better than I expected!
 |
| Green Tea for me |
 |
| We also did our own pedicures (Pete was at work and I'm sure he's thankful for that!) |
 |
| I got a surprise delivery midday (I LOVE fresh flowers!) |
 |
| And these are the beauties Pete surprised me with! |
 |
| They went lovely together! |
 |
| It snowed too, that kind of snow that looks like it belongs in a snow globe, my very favorite! |
 |
| My birthday cake was a cookie cake! |
 |
| Baked by Lauryn... |
 |
| Decorated by Pete (that's supposed to be us holding hands) |
 |
| HBA = Happy Birthday Astleigh |
 |
| London broil was our main course (with guacamole; if you haven't tried it you are missing out!) |
 |
| Mouth-watering and so delicious |
 |
| Salivating yet?? |
 |
| Homemade Guac |
 |
| Broccoli Salad |
 |
| Au gratin potatoes |
 |
| Pink Surprise with raspberries |
 |
| It was too pretty not to take another picture |
 |
| Spinach Bacon dip appetizer |
 |
| My twin...okay, not really (my little sister) |
 |
| A very happy birthday girl :) |
 |
| The next morning started with orange juice... |
 |
| And Cran-Apple |
 |
| Waffles were necessary too... |
 |
| ...and bacon and bananas |
 |
| Then came the puzzle... |
 |
| I love all the colors! |
 |
| And then it was done! |
 |
| The weekend wouldn't have been the same without our house guests! |
